London travel tips

Just tap in

You don't need to buy a ticket or an Oyster card. Tap in and out with any contactless bank card or phone and you'll automatically get the cheapest fare, with a daily cap once you've made a few journeys.

Tap the same card every time

Avoid the peaks

Fares are lower and trains far quieter outside roughly 6:30–9:30am and 4:00–7:00pm on weekdays. If you're arriving with luggage, travelling between those windows makes a real difference.

Cheapest after 9:30am

Weekend engineering works occasionally close parts of the District or Piccadilly line. The TfL journey planner and live status page will show any changes for your travel date.
