Just to remind you how PUBLIC TRANSPORT works…

YOU ARE IN LU ZONE 2. NO ZONES FOR BUSES. TAKE AS MANY BUSES AND GO AS FAR AWAY DURING 1 HOUR FOR LESS THAN £2

Have a look at TfL web and/or Get the APP.

In order to pay your fare, use your own bank card (one per person) or…

Buy and top-up an OYSTER card (one per person). You can buy a OYSTER VISITOR right now. With OYSTER there is a DAILY CAP in your spending!. Buses do not accept cash. Cash tickets in the LU are double the price.
