Getting around London - a quick primer to their Underground tube

• The underground is great, you can quickly and easily get anywhere within London. Get a tube map on your phone to make navigating the map a bit easier.
• If you use a visa card (contactless) to swipe through the barriers. You will get charged at the end of the day - there is a maximum it'll charge you. You can also just buy normal tickets, or buy an Oyster card and top it up with credit. Also works with Apple Pay. Be aware of foreign transaction fees though, if you don't have a UK card. Details on contactless, details about Oyster.
• The same system works on busses - in fact you can't buy a ticket from the driver, you have to have an Oyster card or use your debit card.
