You can also get travel passes for 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, or a month.  Those 
allow you unlimited tube travel which is great when you're hitting multiple 
places in a day.  I'm not sure it's still true, but 10 years ago the travel 
pass was also good for a huge discount off regional rail tickets, eg to 
Hampton Court.  You might be required to also get a photocard if you get a 
longer pass.
