Getting TO/AROUND: A great way to travel from the airports into London and around London is with a Travelcard with unlimited travel on London's Buses, Underground Trains, Overground Trains, Docklands Light Rail and Tramlink, for the dates and duration you require.
Restrictions:
The day Travelcard (off-peak) can only be used after 9:30am Monday-Fridays (from 00:01 Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays) on the day of validity and for any journey that starts before 04.30 on the following day.Multi-day travelcards incur no restrictions and are valid for use on consecutive calendar days.
Access to Airports
The only airport accessible with your Travelcard is Heathrow. If you are flying into Heathrow you will be able to use your Travelcard straight away on the Underground. You will be in central London with no hassle before you know it. For more complete information and prices use the website listed below.
Gatwick, Stansted and Luton airports are outside of Zone 6, you will be required to pay some or all of your journey into central London, depending on which service you use.
Express trains operate from Gatwick and Stansted Airports. For further information on timetables and ticketing, check websites www.gatwickexpress.co.uk & www.stanstedexpress.co.uk.

Getting TO/AROUND: We purchased a Britarail Pass in the US before visiting the UK. It's defintely worth the money and not having to buy tickets for each leg of the journey saves considerable time. We found most UK trains comfortable and less stressful than driving on the "wrong" side of the road LOL
There are a plethora of Britrail pass types, senior passes, 4 - 30 days passes and specialty passes. Check the website below for all the different passes and prices.
