Getting older may not be everyone's cup of tea, but there are certainly some benefits that come along with it. From discounted travel to special shopping offers, ageing has its perks. Here's a roundup of 10 good old perks that come with ageing:
Travel
For those of state pension age in England and over 60 in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, free bus passes are available. In London, over-60s can travel on buses, Tubes, and trains with a 60+ London Oyster card. Train travel across the country can be made cheaper with the Senior Railcard, offering a third off tickets. And for coach travel, the National Express Senior Coachcard provides a third off the price.
Fun
Senior citizens can enjoy 25% off their annual subscription at the National Trust if they are 60 or over and have held membership for the last three consecutive years. English Heritage offers senior membership at a discounted price of £63 for over-65s. The Odeon cinema and various sports clubs also offer senior discounts on tickets and membership costs.
Shopping
Every Tuesday, Iceland offers a 10% discount for over-60s. Boots has special offers on its Advantage Card for over-60s, including extra points for spending on certain brands.
Health
In the UK, prescription charges apply only in England, but they become free once you turn 60. Free eye tests are also available from the age of 60, with discounts on glasses offered by Specsavers and Boots Opticians.
