Can you use the he Oyster Card app without a UK address?
No......I used my hotel address when I signed up years ago.
Or just use contactless cards.
We just returned from London yesterday. It was very easy to just tap your credit card in and out of the tube and buses.
I can’t imagine a reason why a non resident would want to. It requires a U.K. address.
Yes, I know you can use a contactless card.......
I use the Oyster app. It tells me my balance, my journey history, I can top up my card from the app, and should I lose the card, it's registered so I should be able to get a repacement.
By the way, you can't use it from the US. You will be blocked.
