How To Travel Around London and Buy an Oyster Card - Important Tips!

Here are some very important tips on how to travel around London and buy an oyster card.
Especially if it is your first time visiting London, if you aren't careful you can end up paying a lot more for your travel so it's important you pay the right fare. You can use your oyster card or contactless payment card for lots of different types of transport on London TFL services. This includes buses, trains, tubes, Thames Clipper boats, trams and even the Emirates Airline cable cars.
My favourite thing to do is to travel on the old Number 15 routemaster buses. A real icon of London. I'll show you all the tips and tricks on how to behave like a true Londoner and not to be barged out of the way by the locals when travelling on transport in London.
There are other ways to pay for London Transport including Apple Pay on your iphone or with a contactless credit or debit card. But I think it's easiest to get an oyster card when you first arrive. Try to avoid buying paper tickets because they cost more!! And the buses don't accept money so you must have an oyster or credit card or apple pay.

I am a foreigner, i just realized Oyster card is so useful, I normally use it for underground and bus, but never others, thanks for the video. I really like your very British accent, like the English I heard from tv drama of downtown abbey, hehe...

London legit sounds like the perfect place. No one says hello, eye contact to be met with a half grimace or looking away. Perfect.

Also useful info for tourists, only get zones 1-2 on your oyster card because you can use buses on all zones to continue your journey 😉

On the tube, your Oyster card or contactless card is debited with the maximum fare when you tap in at the start of your journey. Tapping out at the end calculates the actual fare. Always tap out!

Transit in London blew my mind. I rode it at rush hour just for the experience. Northern Canada, has very little transport at all. Almost everyone drives where I live. LOL, I talked to everyone while there, it was great.

Heading to London this weekend for the first time... Your videos have been exceptionally helpful in planning! Thank you so much!

[kmuehl]

I grew up in London but have lived abroad for 15 years. This video has been a super help!! Thank you!

[DevotionalDigest]

I must say traveling on the tube was pretty daunting at first, but once you get used to it it is quite helpful and easy to figure out.

I wish I had seen these 10 years ago when I first started traveling to the UK regularly. It took me and my daughter quite a while to figure all of the things you covered.

I’ve been watching so many videos cuz I’m not scared I’m planning my 1st trip to Europe including New Year’s Eve in London. Everything it’s bit confusing but thanks u made it so simple and I’m feeling bit confident.
