Local transportation in London

The participant will have to buy the public transportation “Pay-as-you-go Oyster Card” upon arrival which will allow him/her 50% discount on public fares. http://visitorshop.tfl.gov.uk/ 

You can order it directly from Transport for London (TFL) and receive it in advance by mail at your home to avoid queuing up upon your arrival 

16 and 17 years old participants can apply for a 'Non-resident 16+ Oyster photocard' online http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14312.aspx  which allows you to travel at half adult rate on bus, Tube, tram, DLR and London Overground services. 

Please allow three weeks for your application to be processed.

What is Oyster?
Oyster is a blue plastic card you can use instead of paper tickets. You can put Travelcards, passes and railcards on it, as well as credit which you use up as you travel.

You can also get adult and child discount with an Oyster photocard if eligible. You can also protect your card from loss or theft.

Daily price capping
 If you make lots of pay as you go journeys in one day we'll make sure you never pay more than the price of an equivalent Day Travelcard. There's a different daily price cap for different types of transport.

Photocard for 16 and 17 years old

Application for participants staying with us for a 2-week minimum language course in London:

• Supply an excellent digital passport-type photo

• Pay £5 by debit or credit card. This will be loaded on your photocard as credit to pay as you go and can be refunded if not used. Le Lay Language consulting can apply for you providing the participant's e-mail address for an extra cost of £10.

• £5 fee will automatically be deducted from your account even if your application is subsequently rejected because the photograph is unsuitable. If your application is successful the £5 will be added to your Oyster photocard so that you can use it to pay as you go

• Your photocard will only be available at the travel information centre nominated by you, from the expected collection date you specify in your application, for a maximum period of 14 days, after which it will no longer be available for collection

• You or your parent/guardian must present your original passport, ID card (from European Economic Area country) or birth certificate with date of birth as declared in this application when collecting your Oyster photocard

Collecting your Oyster photocard

You will need to pick up personally your 16+ Oyster photocard when you arrive in London. It can be collected from any Travel Information Centre (at the Eurostar station of St-Pancras or at the Victoria Station). You will need to show proof of your date of birth in the form of a valid Passport, ID card (from a European Economic Association country) or birth certificate. You must do this within two weeks of the collection date you chose when ordering.
