You can top up your Oyster card in several convenient locations: at stations, online, and at Oyster Ticket Stops.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Stations: You can top up your Oyster card at any Tube station, London Overground station, TfL Rail station, and most National Rail stations within the London area. Look for ticket machines, or visit a ticket office if one is available.
-
Online: Top up online via the Transport for London (TfL) website. Remember that online top-ups require you to touch your Oyster card on a yellow reader at a station to complete the process and load the credit. This can take up to 30 minutes to become available.
-
Oyster Ticket Stops: These are typically local convenience stores or newsagents that display the Oyster logo. They are a great option for topping up on the go. There are approximately 3,900 Oyster Ticket Stops across London. To find your nearest Oyster Ticket Stop, visit the TfL website.
In summary, topping up your Oyster card is readily accessible through a variety of options to suit your needs.
