Brent cross - oyster card

Is there anywhere at Brent Cross shopping center where you can get an oystercard. We want to take the kids to London zoo and I was planning to park at Brent Cross and get the bus from there to the tube station and the get the tube down to the zoo. I know you can get the cards at tube stations but I need the card for the bus to get to the tube station. I have walked to the tube station before and I know it's a trek and I don't fancy doing it with a 3 yo and a 5 yo
Nothing to see here, move along.

    Don't know about Oyster cards at Brent Cross, but do you have a contactless card that you could use instead?
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
    On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning

    You can buy them online if you want.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • For future reference you can look up the locations of Oyster retail outlets in London (which TfL call "Oyster Ticket Stops") using this tool:
    www.tfl.gov.uk/maps/oyster-ticket-stops

    Unfortunately there isn't one actually in Brent Cross shopping centre, but there are plenty near by.
  • Tbh if we go to the zoo again I will drive it so simple to get to and members get free parking. By the end of the day the kids were so tired having the car there was a massive boon.
