Oyster cards and contactless

Avoid ticket machine queues and travel around London using an Oyster card or a debit or credit card.

It's easy to go contactless when you’re travelling in Zones 1-6 in London, and you can also use your Oyster or contactless payment card to get to Gatwick Airport.

Either buy or top up a Transport for London Oyster card or use a contactless debit or credit card to get around.
