TFL Advertising with One Day Agency
Advertise Your Brand Across London’s TfL Network
Transport for London, or TfL, is one of the busiest public transport systems in the world. With thousands of platforms, bus shelters, stations, and daily tube ridership figures that can exceed an incredible 4 million, it is a high-demand space for brand advertising.
One Day’s all-senior marketing specialists support brands looking to advertise on the TFL with a realistic target of reaching 4.5 million people every 14 days.
Businesses can structure TfL advertising around specific routes and stations most used by their target audience, select placements across tube lines, bus networks and rail services, or use tactical promotional displays around unique backdrops such as the IFS Cloud Cable Car or the Thames Clippers serving the River Bus system.
Why TFL Advertising?
TfL presents a compelling opportunity for brands keen to extend awareness and recognition through large viewer audiences. It offers:
Access to countless potential impressions, including over 5 million daily bus journeys, 4 million tube users and hundreds of thousands of Docklands Light Railway and London Overground trips taken every 24 hours.
Extended dwell times with an average journey time of 47 minutes and growing touchpoints thanks to expansions, including the Elizabeth Line and the Superloop express bus route around central London.
Options to target specific parts of the TfL system by selecting stations, stops, routes, and journeys most frequented by professionals, tourists, families, and young adults.
The scale of ridership and the diversity of advertising options make TfL publicity suited to any brand of every size, whether you'd like tactical eye-level displays onboard TfL vehicles or a complete takeover of your preferred station, stop, or service.

Frequently Asked Questions.
-
TfL advertising campaigns are effective because they benefit from a large, diverse and ever-changing audience and repeat exposure where commuters and professionals, families and students travelling to and from school, workplaces, business engagements and leisure activities pass by the same adverts multiple times per week.
High-frequency exposure and massive audience reach work well for brands of all sizes and can be augmented by researching the market and usage trends across the TfL networks and making informed media planning choices.
From a cost-effectiveness perspective, the sheer number of impressions brands achieve through TfL advertising presents a powerful promotional opportunity, with an average price of £2.50 per 1,000 impressions.
-
We often speak with high-growth brands keen to reach audiences using the TfL networks but who presume the cost of a TfL advertising campaign will exceed their budget.
As the variety of advertising formats and placements listed above show, there are numerous ways to display brand messaging and communications. Many smaller and younger brands opt for strategic displays in selected locations rather than launching a wide-scale campaign.
One Day can provide further insights on demand to help you plan your small business TfL promotion and ensure the options we recommend are fully on budget.

Yes, digital and moving video graphic displays are extremely popular and give brands the option of customising and adapting the imagery and offers shown based on several data points, such as the time of day, the weather outside, and local events expected to attract high visitor numbers.
