Well done – you’ve found a cheap and simple way to travel round London.
With your card, cost isn’t a consideration, but you can get from Crystal Palace to Wembley Central – and back – in under an hour via Clapham Junction and Willesden Junction. You can either walk across Wembley to the Wigan pubs or go to Wembley Park via Clapham Junction, Willesden Junction and West Hampstead.
This time, of course, you may have a different hotel, or you may want to travel via Central London.
great pal ta I go in all pubs with all fans don’t need stick with all wigan fans the idea of football and socialising is you mingle with all fans millwall or man city
£8 quid ticket is ok for the day, but useless for people travelling round the capital going friday to sunday and in some cases monday!
In those instances Oyster is well worth it.

An Oyster card will quickly pay for itself. Fares are much cheaper and the card also has a price cap – the maximum you can pay in one day in Central London off peak may be about £7.00. You can also fill in a form to register the card and then link it to a Student or Senior rail card. Bus passes are valid on London buses too!
You can buy the Visitor Oyster cards on-line in advance. The card costs £3. Visitor Oyster cards are only available for adults. However, an adult with a Visitor Oyster card can take up to 4 children under the age of 11 years to travel for free on Tube, DLR and London Overground services.
Delivery times for United Kingdom – Estimated 2 to 4 days
You can buy ordinary Pay As You Go Oyster cards on-line and at Underground ticket offices and on the concourse at Euston station – they are very similar to the Visitor Oyster cards. You will need to pay £5 deposit when you get a new Oyster card, which is refundable if you return the card.
You put credit on the cards – like a phone card – and automatically pay as you go. £20 should cover a weekend. You must touch in at the start of your journey and touch out at the end. If you forget to touch out, you will be charged a higher fare!
An Oyster card is a sensible investment, but there is an alternative, the Day Off Peak Travelcard, say
For Saturday, Zone 1-4 to include Wembley £8.00
For Sunday, Zone 1-2 for Central London £7.30
A Zone 1-6 card for a child costs £3.40 for a day
I hope that helps – an Oyster card is really quite simple to buy and use.
Its all a bit complicated for me, I’m only used to driving.
It’s doing my head in trying to organise the train tickets to Beckenham.
I hope my brother (martinh) has got all the cross London journey planned, and I’ll just follow him and his group of Londonlatics.
If this is your only rail journey in London, and assuming you go from Beckenham Junction, the simplest ticket is an Off Peak Day Travelcard.
If you go to Wembley via Central London, you will need a Zone 1-4 card costing £8.
If you go to Wembley via East Croydon and Clapham Junction, you will need a Zone 1-5 card costing £8.90.
An Oyster card will be cheaper if you are going to make other trips.
Hopefully martinh will be doing the planning, but his nearest station is Kent House. I know that as that is my destination station when traveling down on the Friday.
