Travel London with a Visitor Oyster Card
If you’re planning a trip to London, a Visitor Oyster Card is a smart, convenient, and cost-effective way to pay for your travel on public transport. It is a prepaid travel card that you can use on the Tube, buses, trams, DLR, London Overground, and most National Rail services in London.
Why Get a Visitor Oyster Card?
- Save Money: Fares are cheaper than paying with cash. The card also has a daily cap, meaning you can travel as much as you like in a single day, and the cost will be capped at a set amount.
- Easy to Use: Simply touch the card on the yellow readers at the start and end of your journeys. There’s no need to buy paper tickets for each trip.
- Arrives Ready to Use: You order it online in advance, and it’s delivered to your home address, so you can start using it the moment you arrive in London.
- Exclusive Discounts: Cardholders get access to special offers and discounts at many London restaurants, shops, and attractions.
Important Things to Note
- A Visitor Oyster Card costs £5 (non-refundable) and comes pre-loaded with the amount of pay-as-you-go credit you choose.
- You can top up your card with more credit at any Tube station, Oyster Ticket Stop, or Visitor Centre if you run low.
- You cannot buy a Visitor Oyster Card when you arrive at Euston Station; it must be purchased online in advance.
