OYSTER CARDS FOR TRAVEL AROUND LONDON


"If you intend using public transport in London for more than 3 days then an Oyster Card will save you money."

The Oyster card system is a pay as you go method of travelling around London by tube, tram, bus and DLR. Think of the Oyster as a debit card where every time you use it for travel, credits are electronically withdrawn from your account and you can top them up at many places around the capital.

Using the Oyster is the cheapest way to make single journeys around London and offers the convenience of being replenishable at any of the following places:

Tube station ticket offices
Tube station touchscreen ticket machines
Oyster ticket stops ( independent sellers such as shops )
Travel information centres
London Airports
Online at https://sales.oystercard.com
Telephone on 0845-330-9876
National rail ticket offices

To use the Oyster you simply pass the card over the electronic sensor at the start of your journey. A charge of up to 5 pounds will be deducted from the card. When you complete your journey and place the pass on the exit sensor, your exact journey cost will be calculated and the final debit adjusted so that you pay the correct fare.

As`you travel around London using your card, the system keeps a running total of the cost and will always ensure that during a one day period (0430 - 0430) you will always pay less than a one day travel card.
