student discounts with student ID made from paper

I am a full-time enrolled student at a German university and will visit London in early March 2020. Unfortunately our student cards are made from paper (with some security features imprinted), exhibiting all typical information given by an EEA ID card, but lacking a picture of the holder. In fact they are only valid when being used with an EEA ID card/ passport, which I will of course carry along.

Do I have a chance TfL and some (non-free) museums will accept this rather unusual concept to apply student discounts or should I get an internationally accepted student card?

Best Answer

I'm afraid that you almost certainly aren't eligible for the standard TfL student discount promotion, since it requires a) you live in London during term time and b) your University is pre-registered with TfL. It's just possible that you could benefit from the 16-25 railcard though (which is also available to mature students if you are outside that age bracket).

Museums generally make up their own rules, and it may come down a combination of the person taking your money and your own ability to sell the idea. It's certainly fairly likely that many institutions will be willing to accept it (thus getting some of your money) rather than having you not go in.
