Oyster Cards vs Travel Cards:
An Oyster Card is the cheapest way to pay for a single journey on the London transport network, including the Underground, DLR, London Overground and National Rail as well as London’s buses and trams. The card itself takes the form of a plastic smartcard, instead of a paper ticket. To ensure you pay the correct fare, you must always touch in on the yellow card reader at the start of your journey and touch out at the end. You can purchase an Oyster Card in advance of your visit to ICE via www. tfl.gov.uk/oyster
 
Alternatively you may wish to purchase a Travelcard. Travelcards can also be used on London’s Underground, DLR, London Overground and National Rail as well as London’s buses and trams. Travelcards are available for 1, 3 or 7 days. You can purchase a Travelcard in advance of your trip to ICE via www.londontravelpass.com
 
Use your Oyster Card on the new Emirates Air Line Cable Car
Buy an Oyster Card and it can also  be used on The Emirates Air Line Cable Car connecting ICE’s new home at ExCeL with the O2 (a stunning 5-minute, river-crossing, cable car experience). ExCeL’s onsite cable car station is located at the west end of the site – just a 5-minute walk from ExCeL’s west (“Pyramid”) entrance.
