A perfect site for London, DO NOT USE OYSTER CARDS
This site was perfect for a trip to London. We have been to London on lots of occasions in hotels and though we would try this, and we will not be using hotels anymore. This site was perfect for our days out, the No 3 bus just outside was brilliant, a regular service all through the day and evening, it travels all the way to Piccadilly Circus, Regents St, so perfect for the heart of London. It stops by the Oval underground station, and Lambeth North at the Imperial War Museum, which opens you up for the rest of the underground services. NOW THE IMPORTANT PART. The staff where brilliant with the information on travelling around London, to that end I would highly recommend NOT buying an Oyster card, as this will cost you £5 per card before you even consider loading it up with credit. The question is how much do you load it up with, the dilemma my wife and I had. A very easy solution.....If you have a contactless debit or credit card then just use that. We did and we flew threw all stations and on and off the buses. I checked my account when we got home and the most we got charged for a day of travelling was £6:40. They debited my account with a total of the day rather than each individual trip. This information isn't mentioned on this sites web page and it should be!!!!!! We will definitly be stopping here again and using our contactless debit cards, we had a brilliant week. We did here a rumour, that this site is closing..............We hope it doesn't.............
