How to pay for travel around London on the TfL network
To travel around London, you can either use your contactless credit or debit card or buy an Oyster card. This is a smartcard that allows you to travel on public transport. Find out how to get an Oyster card and create an online account.
How to use your Oyster card or contactless card to travel on the TfL network
You will need to touch your Oyster card in at the yellow card reader at the start of your journey and to touch out at the end on the Tube, DLR, London Overground, TfL Rail and most National Rail services in London. On buses and trams, you should touch your card on the yellow reader at the start of your journey. You don't need to touch out when you get off.
You can use the Transport for London journey planner to find the quickest and easiest route. If you have a smartphone, you can use the TfL Go app to plan a journey.
