Visiting Lindon - advice please.

[wildcat45]

Usually I go to London with work - ie someone else pays. I just buy tube tickets and claim it back.

For the first time in ages, I am going for 3 days as a tourist.

The extremes of travel would be no more than Highgate, and east Greenwich or docklands.

Most of the time will be spend in the centre.

Would it be best to buy an Oyster card or a daily travel card?

I looked it up online and it seems a bit confusing to a bloke from the stocks!

If you have a contactless debit card, you can use it as an Oyster card now. Just touch in and out.

But make sure you either take it out of your wallet or keep it away from any other contactless cards as you could get charged on both

BEWARE OF CARD CLASH

And don't let that Lindon bloke get your card either, he's not to be trusted.

Lindon is the land beyond the Ered Luin, the Blue Mountains, in the northwest of Middle-earth in the fictional universe of J. R. R. Tolkien. It is the westernmost land of the continent. The Gulf of Lune divides it into Forlindon (North Lindon) and Harlindon (South Lindon). Mithlond or the Grey Havens stood near the mouth of the River Lhûn at the gulf's eastern end.

AFAIK the Oyster daily cap is slightly cheaper than a paper one day travelcard, but you need to put a deposit on the card itself.

You can also use a contactless card in lieu of Oyster, as long as you only use one card, as they can't link daily limits and caps across different ones.

So OP, you are from the stocks and you are going to Lindon?

OP - make sure you have your bow, axe or sword at the ready for those pesky Orcs.

Apropos of nothing whatsoever to do with this thread, I used to own a boat called Hereward.
