A Visitor Oyster card is easy to use and offers substantial savings when travelling by bus, tube or tram in London. The Visitor Oyster card adjusts automatically to help you get the least expensive price for all the trips you make in a day.

Save time

Skip the queues and simply tap your Visitor Oyster card on special readers located in Tube and train stations and on buses.

A Visitor Oyster card is the fastest, smartest and easiest way to pay for single journeys on the bus, Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground and National Rail services in the London zonal area.

How much does it cost?

Your Visitor Oyster card will cost £12 per person, which includes a £2 non-refundable one-off fee to cover the cost of producing the card. It will be pre-loaded with £10 credit and can be topped up at over 4,000 outlets all over London. Cards do not expire and can be used for future visits or given to someone else visiting London.

Do children need a Visitor Oyster card?

All children aged 11-15 may travel free on buses and trams at any time if they carry and validate an Oyster photocard. When travelling on the Tube, DLR or London Overground children aged 11-15 will benefit from child-rates if they carry a valid Oyster photocard.

Children aged 5-10 may travel free on the Tube, DLR and London Overground, provided they are travelling with an adult who has a valid ticket or Oyster card (maximum 4 children per adult). They may also travel free on buses and trams. If they wish to travel unaccompanied on the Tube, DLR or London Overground, they must carry a 5-10 Oyster photocard.

Children aged under 5 may travel free at all times if accompanied by a fare paying adult.
