London Oyster Cards

Exploring London has never been easier than with The London Pass®.

You can also purchase a Visitor Oyster Card, so you can travel all over London with ease.

Keep on reading to learn more about Visitor Oyster cards and how easy it is to make savings daily while traveling around London.

Save money on daily journeys

A single journey on the London Underground costs £2.90 (between zones 1 - 2) and a bus journey costs just £1.75 – but the real benefit of your Visitor Oyster card is that it comes with a daily cap so your journeys will be free after a certain point.

London’s transport network is split into 6 main zones, and each zone has a separate charge rate. But no matter which zone you travel across, any journeys after your third one that day will not be charged.

Zones	Oyster Daily Cap	1-Day Travel Card (Peak / Off Peak)
Zones 1 - 2	£8.90	£16.60 / £16.60
Zones 1 - 3	£10.50	£16.60 / £16.60
Zones 1 - 4	£12.80	£16.60 / £16.60
Zones 1 - 5	£15.30	£23.60 / £16.60
Zones 1 - 6	£16.30	£23.60 / £16.60

What happens if my value/credit runs out?

If you need to add more value/credit to your Visitor Oyster card you can simply 'top up' at one of the machines in the stations, or by going to one of the Transport for London ticket desks.

Any credit you don’t use can be kept on your card for use at a later date. If you want to claim a refund on any unused value/credit, please visit a Transport for London ticket desk.
