Buying tickets for the London Underground is really just a test of your ability to not overthink it. Tap your card, ride the train, tap again. That’s the whole dance.
You can buy tickets at the machine, online, or via the app. But honestly? Just use your phone or contactless card. Save yourself the confusion. And remember: your Oyster card deposit is refundable, but your dignity isn’t.
So next time you’re at Paddington, give that machine a confident tap. You’ll glide through the gates like you’ve lived here your whole life. And if you don’t? Well, there’s always a bench to sit on and mutter while you figure it out.
