Transport for London's promotion is part of the Mayor and Visit London's Everyone's London campaign, that shows Londoners and visitors the world-class events, attractions, restaurants and shops central London has to offer which help make the Capital the most vibrant and imaginative city in the world.
Speaking at the launch at the BA London Eye, which features pods especially wrapped to look like Tube trains and buses, the Mayor announced details of the deals and discounts which will be available to TfL's passengers as part of the Everyone's London campaign, including:
Discounts at major London attractions including a '2 for 1' deal at the London Eye and Madame Tussaud's, plus further great discounts at London Zoo, the London Aquarium, London Dungeons and for cricket fans at the Lord's Tour
Up to 60 per cent off top price and matinee theatre tickets at 20 top shows, from the big musicals Saturday Night Fever and Phantom, through to the Death of a Salesman and the English National Ballet's The Nutcracker
Twenty per cent reduction on entry to exhibitions at the British, Natural History, Science, V&A and Design Museums
For art lovers, passengers can get 20 per cent entry discount at the Saatchi Museum and RCA, and 30 per cent discount to two exhibitions at Tate Modern and Tate Britain
Further offers including major exhibitions at Earls Court and many of London's popular restaurants
The full list of all offers is available from the Everyone's London section of the TfL website.
Mayor Ken Livingstone said: "Londoners and visitors have so much to see and do, and now is the right time to get out there and experience the best of the Capital.
"Londoners all know the best way to travel around is by public transport, and so anyone who has a valid ticket can now benefit from some fantastic deals.
"Transport for London's role in promoting London's 2012 bid, with adverts and wrapped Tube trains and buses, meant that no Londoner or visitor to the Capital could have failed to recognise our passion for the Games.
"TfL's participation in the Everyone's London campaign will get the message across that the shops, restaurants and attractions in central London are simply too good to miss."
Tim O'Toole, Managing Director of London Underground, said: "Our passengers and staff have showed their determination to get back travelling on the network as normal.
"My message to them is - take the Tube tonight or this weekend and take up one of the Everyone's London offers."
