Oyster Card or Credit card on London Transport

Options
I am an occasional visitor to London.

Is it better to use an Oyster Card or a Credit Card?

    I would favour a contactless credit card. The costs per journey would be the same but an Oyster card costs £7.00 and you have to make sure you have enough money on it for the journeys being made.

    Just make sure that you use the same card for all journeys so that any daily off peak price cap takes effect correctly.
