Should I get a London Travelcard or a Visitor Oyster card?
Whether you should get a London Day Travelcard or a Visitor Oyster card depends on how long you’re staying in London and how frequently you’ll be using public transport. Here’s a quick comparison:
Visitor Oyster Card:
The most flexible option: pay as you go fares, with daily fare caps. No need to plan your zones, as you’ll only pay for what you use.
Includes airport travel: you can use your Visitor Oyster card for airport transfers on the Gatwick Express and the Heathrow Express.
Reusable: keep your Visitor Oyster card and top it up for future visits to London.London Day Travelcard:
Great for heavy use: the card covers unlimited travel in a set number of days and zones, so can be more cost effective than hitting the Oyster fare cap each day.
No need to top up: the London Day Travelcard is a fixed, upfront price, so there’s no need to worry about topping it up with more credit.
Great for groups: we offer a Group Day London Travelcard that offers the most cost-effective option for groups of 10+ travelling together.Which one should you use?
On a short visit, with occasional travel? Choose the Visitor Oyster card.
