Transportation in London

Public transportation in London has a lovely feature: the oyster card. A simple, unassuming white and blue card, it allows you to top it with whatever amount of money you wish so that you can pay for any kind of transportation, be it the tube, bus or train. The money charged when paying the fees with the oyster card is also much less than that of buying a ticket, so it's a win-win situation for you. Also, it lets you put passes in it, so it's a train/tube/bus pass, all in one!

The unassuming oyster card hides many perks!

You can purchase it at any station, but there are also shops that sell and top off the oyster card. If you need help finding one, check out one of the many bus stops. Places that sell and top off oyster cards are usually marked down on the bus stop maps.
