Within London
Get an Oyster card
Not having an Oyster card is a tax on tourists. A zone 1 single costs £4 without a card, but only £1.80 with one. The amount you pay is capped at the price of an equivalent travelcard, so unless you get one with your rail ticket, it's guaranteed to save you money.
A card is a £5 deposit and doesn't expire. You can also use it to open our door if you're a member.
