When you arrive you will be able to buy an Oyster card from any station in London. You will be eligible to apply for a student Oyster through the TFL. An Oyster card is a smartcard which can hold pay as you go credit, Travelcard (travel pass) and Bus and Tram Pass season tickets. You can use it to travel on bus, Tube, Tram, DLR, London Overground and most National Rail services in London. You can also use your wireless contact credit/debit card to travel on the tube and buses in London.
