We are visiting London in a weeks time and just wondering what's best to use in the city. We plan to travel to a few places by Tube over a Friday and Saturday so didn't know whether it was worth getting an Oyster card or just use our debit card tapping it at each station. Is there much difference? We've never used one but heard you have to put money on an oyster card so if the two of us put £15-20 on each card i presume that would be enough. Most of the journeys are between Victoria, Piccadilly, Southwark & Canary Wharf but coming from and to Newbury Park when we arrive and leave.

sorted byOyster supports travelcards and concessions, contactless doesn't. Or does it when used on phone with TFL app?
It's ridiculously complex to compare the methods (3 actually, Oyster, contactless card, TFL app+contactless on phone). Just like rail fares comparing return fares with split ticketing.
