List of stations in London fare zones 7–9
Fare zones 7–9 are ancillary zones of the Travelcard and Oyster card fares scheme managed by Transport for London, used for calculating fares from some stations outside Greater London that are not in zones 4, 5 and 6. Travelcards are available on Oyster with validity in these zones. They are not included in the validity of National Rail out-boundary Travelcards unless mentioned in the Route section as "AAA LDN ZONE 7-9". Fare zones 10-15 have fares set by National Rail train operating companies and the zones themselves are not publicised. The fare zones are outside Greater London, typically more than from Piccadilly Circus.
