Public Transport

Oyster Cards

The cheapest way to get around London on public transport is by using an Oyster Card. If you don't have one, you can get a Visitor Oyster Card (2-4 days delivery) delivered before you arrive or buy an Oyster Card when you arrive. Oyster Cards never expire, so they can be used on future trips to London. An Oyster Card has a lower single fare cost than cash and will always find the lowest possible fare combination for your day's travel, and will usually pay for itself within a couple of days.

Travel Cards

Alternatively, the following Travelcards (and other tickets) are available, which may be more suited to delegates attending a single day:

Travelcard Off-Peak Anytime
Day Travelcard (Zones 1-2) £5.60 (off peak) £7.20 (anytime)
7 Day Travelcard (Zones 1-2) £25.80 (anytime)
It is generally cheaper to buy a Travelcard than to pay for single journeys unless you intend on only making one journey in a day, since a single cash fare for a Zones 1-2 single ticket is £4.

If you have an Oyster Card, this fare will be substantially cheaper and your daily travel cost will automatically be capped at the cost of a Travelcard.
