Transport for London has announced that it will offer free travel on the Tube on New Year’s Eve.

That means that buses, Tubes, trams, the DLR, TfL Rail and London overground will cost nothing as people make their way from celebrations.

Get in!

Travel will be free from 11.45pm on December 31 until 4.30am on January 1 after a sponsorship deal was struck with Kayak.co.uk, a travel search engine.

A previous sponsor ended its deal in 2013 and TfL funded it themselves last year.

Graeme Craig, Director of Commercial Development at TfL, said: ‘Our partnership with KAYAK.co.uk will ensure that revellers will be able to welcome in the New Year knowing that they will be able to get home safely and for free.



‘We look forward to welcoming everyone to London’s celebrations and encourage customers to plan their journeys in advance so that they are aware of all their travel options.’
