So, how much is a Tube ticket in London? Anywhere from £2.80 to £8.50 per day, depending on your zone and patience. The real cost is learning that the “Hold” door button is a lie—you just have to be rude and push.
I still carry my Oyster card like a talisman, even though I live here now. Just in case. And if you do end up buying that paper ticket from a machine for £6, just know I’ll be watching from the bench, sipping my tea, smiling knowingly. You’ll learn, you sweet summer child.
