When you get to the tube station at Heathrow, I'd suggest picking up an Oyster card from one of the machines rather than paying for a single ticket. I'd add £20 to it to start. £10 for getting to and from the airport¹, and the rest for occasionally jumping on the tube (like for our team dinner on Tuesday night and getting to the Science Museum, if you want to come on Wednesday). The more adventurous could go for a zones 1-2 travel card, but I'd argue you wont need it. London is a very walkable city. The office and hotel are well located, about a 15-30 minute walk south from all the interesting things. If your debit/credit card is contactless, note that you can use that to pay for journeys on London buses by tapping it against the yellow reader, but you cannot do the same for the tube (yet). My number is +44 7545 268 388. Please make sure you have it in your phone. Don't hesitate to call or text me when you arrive if you run into trouble. ¹: You are charged on exit (it's a zone system), so as long as you have more than £2 remaining when travelling back to Heathrow, you can leave London with a negative balance. If you have money left on your card, you can get it and the £5 deposit paid on the Oyster card back by asking a teller at the tube station. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-ci-engineering Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~canonical-ci-engineering More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
