How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to London

Season Tickets for frequent travel
For frequent travelers between Reading and London, consider a Season Ticket, providing unlimited travel between specified stations for different durations, such as weekly, monthly, annual, or flexi. Alongside substantial savings, enjoy the convenience of not having to buy a ticket for each journey.

Network Railcard for South East England
For only a small annual fee, you can save 1/3 on most fares in South East England, including routes in and out of London, with the Network Railcard. Covering both standard and off-peak tickets, this railcard is particularly beneficial for those who travel regularly within this region.

Traveling in off-peak train times
Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Reading to London can result in significant cost savings.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Reading to London for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.
