　　Visitor Oyster cards are electronic smartcards that come fully charged with credit. Whether you're making a one-off trip to London or you're a regular visitor, using an Oyster travel smartcard is the easiest way to travel around the city's public transport network. Simply touch the card on the yellow card reader at the doors when you start and end your journey.
　　Advantages of a Visitor Oyster Card  
　　A Visitor Oyster card is one of the cheapest ways to pay for single journeys on the bus, Tube, DLR, tram, London Overground and most National Rail services in London:
　　● Save time----your card is ready to use as soon as you arrive in London.
　　● It's more than 50% cheaper than buying a paper travel card or single tickets with cash.
　　● There is a daily price cap----once you have reached this limit, you won't pay any more.
　　● Enjoy special offers and promotions at leading London restaurants, shops and entertainment venues----plus discounts on the Emirates Air Line cable car and Thames Clippers river buses.
　　Buy a Visitor Oyster card
　　Buy a Visitor Oyster card before you visit London and get it delivered to your home address. A card costs  ￡3  (non-refundable) plus postage. Order online and arrive with your Oyster in hand!  You can also buy a Visitor Oyster card from Gatwick Express ticket offices at Gatwick Airport Station and on board Eurostar trains travelling to London.
