On 21 March 1982 fares to all other London Underground stations were graduated at three mile intervals, effectively creating zones, although they were not named as such until 1983 when the Travelcard product was launched covering five numbered zones. City and West End became zone 1 and the rest of Greater London was within zones 2, 3, 4 and 5.
London Underground and Docklands Light Railway use Transport for London's Travelcard zones to calculate fares, including fares on the Underground only. Travelcard Zone 1 is the most central, encompassing an area mainly bounded by the London Terminals and the Circle line, while Travelcard Zone 6 is the most outlying zone within the Greater London boundaries.
Map of Zone 1 Underground stations, pre 2021. London is split into six approximately concentric zones. Zone 1 covers the West End, the Holborn district, Kensington, Paddington and the City of London, as well as Old Street, Angel, Pimlico, Tower Gateway, Aldgate East, Euston, Vauxhall, Elephant & Castle, Borough, London Bridge, Earl's Court, Marylebone, Edgware Road, Lambeth North and Waterloo.

For example, if one takes a journey from zone 6 all the way to zone 1, then takes multiple journeys within zones 1-2, the system will charge for the journeys until the zone 1-6 cap is reached even though it may be cheaper to charge a zone 1-2 cap combined with a single fare from zone 6 because zone 1-6 travel is already recorded on the card.

Also, Travelcards season tickets for these zones are only sold in limited combinations, unlike in Zones 1-6 where all combinations covering at least two consecutive zones are sold, and outboundary Travelcards (one which includes travel between a station outside the zonal system and some numbered zones) do not include travel in Zones 7-9 unless ...
