Hi guys, I know this is gonna be quicker and easier than trawling the net 
I need 'to do' London for the day in a couple of weeks. got my ticket already (bargain), to 'all london stations', which i figured would take me to wherever I wanted to go including tubes. Doesn't look like it.
So, I'll need a tube ticket, but can i get an all zones thingy in advance? Do I even need all zones?? And can I do it online - is it any cheaper, or is it easy to get once I land?
I land in Euston, need to get to the Excel arena.
TIA!!!  |

Contactless on your debit card will tap you in and out of every tube and on to buses. Way cheaper than buying a day ticket and less hassle than queing for an oyster card |

Get a cash oyster card from the ticket machine , costs £10 with £5 credit preloaded. When you finish put it back into the machine for refund or alternatively keep it for next time |

They have cap on Oyster card and on contactless debit card, you will be charged around max £12 a day, ,so no point getting anything in advance, just use your contactless card if u have one.
Have a good time at London.  |

"Euston underground station to Custom House for excel will cost £3.30 peak times and £2.80 off peak for a single journey. "
Think this is the way I will go, tho not to Custom house as its under development til december, so Prince Regent it is :D
Debit card is not contactless  And can't be arsed faffing around with an oyster card just for a one off trip, even tho I understand you can get a refund on it and any unused pre-payment.
Thank you all so much!!  |

Any contactless card, debit or credit will work just make sure you use the same card every time
If not work out the furthest station zone you will go and get a travel card that includes that station. Use all day on bus, train and tube. |
