'''Contactless cards''' are issued by banks and credit card providers - you may have one already, so check your wallet or purse and look for the symbol shown above. If so, start using it - you can register before, during or after you travel. If your credit card carries this symbol you will be able to pay for your fares instead of getting an oyster card. They are available [https://oyster.tfl.gov.uk/oyster/link/0005.do/ online], from stations and [https://www.tfl.gov.uktravel-information/visiting-london/getting-around-london/visitor-centres/Visitor Centers]. You must add money to an Oyster card before using it.
'''Contactless cards''' are issued by banks and credit card providers - you may have one already, so check your wallet or purse and look for the symbol shown above. If so, start using it - you can register your card before, during or after you travel - or not at all. If your credit card carries this symbol you will be able to pay for your fares instead of getting an oyster card. They are available [https://oyster.tfl.gov.uk/oyster/link/0005.do/ online], from stations and [https://www.tfl.gov.uktravel-information/visiting-london/getting-around-london/visitor-centres/Visitor Centers]. You must add money to an Oyster card before using it.


When you arrive in London you can grab yourself an '''Oyster Card'''. You can either get one at any London Underground station or you can order one in advance using the TFL website above. You need to pay a refundable £5 deposit at a Tube station. You have to put £5 credit on to your card as well as a 7-day travel card for Zones 1 and 2. The travelcard comes to a total of £34.10, but it includes unlimited travel around Central London, so it's well worth it.

If you're traveling with other people, everyone must have their own card. You can't share a contactless or Oyster card to pay for travel. If you use any form of contactless the cost of your travel is always capped.
