I have an Oyster card that I got when I was in London in 2007 -- I don't
recall whether it was
explicitly a "Visitor" Oyster card. Is it likely to still work?
Probably. You can set up an online account on the TfL website,
register your card to it. It'll tell you what your balance is, and you
can top up from a credit card. As I recall, online topups with US
plastic works.
[MB] In my experience, US credit cards (without chips) don't work at any of
the machines in the train or tube stations. They will of course work at
the counters with real people. [/MB]
If it demands a UK address, use your hotel's.
