Pay as you go Or Oyster card
I am planning to visit London for 2 days. I am arriving at Heathrow Airport and will be spending time around Thames (e.g. Big Ben, London Eye, Tower Bridge etc). I am not interested in going to any museums but will be sightseeing lot of famous buildings. I am confused about my expenses during this travel. Some suggested me Oyster Card while other suggested 'Pay as you go' with my contact less 'Transfer Wise' card. I guess there will be some 'cap' on both of them. However, I am not able to find how much that cap will be. Another option is to buy Heathrow Express ticket and walk around Thames. In that case should I buy online ticket? If yes, where should I 'validate' it?
Can anyone suggest me economical way to travel from Airport to the city center and roam around Thames.

Is it cheaper to have an Oyster card or contactless?
There is a very small financial advantage to using a contactless card if you're in London for more than a week and travel extensively every single day (weekly capping) but otherwise it's no cheaper than using an Oyster.Is Oyster pay as you go cheaper than travelcard?
Oyster card compared with Contactless payment cards + Travelcard - which is cheapest? As a general rule a Travelcard is more expensive than an Oyster card or Contactless payment card. The exception is if you make 3 or more journeys for 6 days or more within a 7 day period.Is contactless cheaper than buying a ticket?
You can add money to an Oyster card or use contactless (card or device) straight away. You only pay for the journeys you make and it's cheaper than buying a paper single or return ticket (train companies may offer special deals on some journeys).HOW TO PAY FOR LONDON UNDERGROUND // Oyster vs Contactless Card
