Personally, if I didn't have a physical contactless card with no forex fee, I'd just buy an Oyster card. The £5 deposit is easy to get back, and CSR works in the vending machines to buy one.
On that note, I've heard stuff about Oyster eventually going away in favor of contactless cards. I'm not sure how true that is or when that'll happen, though. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure the US isn't the only country that (mostly) doesn't include contactless on cards, so such a move might screw over more than Americans.
