Should I get a London Travelcard or a Visitor Oyster card?

Whether you should get a London Day Travelcard or a Visitor Oyster card depends on how long you’re staying in London and how frequently you’ll be using public transport. Here’s a quick comparison:
Visitor Oyster Card:
The most flexible option: pay as you go fares, with daily fare caps. No need to plan your zones, as you’ll only pay for what you use.
Includes airport travel: you can use your Visitor Oyster card for airport transfers on the Gatwick Express and the Heathrow Express.
Reusable: keep your Visitor Oyster card and top it up for future visits to London.
London Day Travelcard:

Great for heavy use: the card covers unlimited travel in a set number of days and zones, so can be more cost effective than hitting the Oyster fare cap each day.
No need to top up: the London Day Travelcard is a fixed, upfront price, so there’s no need to worry about topping it up with more credit.
Great for groups: we offer a Group Day London Travelcard that offers the most cost-effective option for groups of 10+ travelling together.
Which one should you use?

On a short visit, with occasional travel? Choose the Visitor Oyster card.
Staying for a longer period and making many trips? Choose the London Day Travelcard.
Travelling with a group of 10+? Choose the Group Day London Travelcard.
Can families or groups all use the same Travelcard?

No, each person must have their own London Travelcard, except under 11s who travel free with a paying adult (four children per one paying adult).
If you are travelling in London with a group of 10 or more people, you might want to consider buying a Group Day Travelcard.
I’m visiting a location outside of Zones 1-6. What ticket do I need?

London Day Travelcards bought on the VisitBritain Shop only cover Zones 1-6. If your destination is in Zones 6-9, you can use a Visitor Oyster Card to reach them. For any location outside of Zones 1-9, you’ll need to purchase a direct train ticket at the station.
Can London Day Travelcards be used on buses?

Yes, your London Day Travelcard can be used on any regular London bus operated by TfL, regardless of which zones you are travelling through. London Day Travelcards are not valid on London Sightseeing buses or buses operated by companies other than TfL.
