Wow I hadn't realised how expensive the paper travel cards are now - am used to the Oystercard cap kicking in at about £6 or so. Also bear in mind that you'll need transport anyway...*

Another option is to buy a really cheap train ticket - Charing Cross to Waterloo is £2.80. The important thing is that it needs to have the British Rail logo on the ticket, not just the TFL one.

*- I think technically you could buy any train ticket and I think the cheapest is Ryde to Ryde pierhead for £1.30 single. It's a good 100 miles from London but that's probably being a bit too extreme!
