How do buses work in London?

There are top-up Oyster cards as well which have the adult price which you top up at the shop. The oyster zip cards (the ones for teenagers) you need to order from the Internet.

Almost all of the corner shops sell Oystercards or atleast let you top up.

You pay 20p per 1/2 mile and they only accept 5p and 10p coins. If you go over your half mile the driver issues you with a £15 penalty. GPS and facial recognition ensures you are issued with the fine. There's a 50p extra fee for crossing a bridge built pre-1900, 40p post-1900. You can get an all day saver ticket for £60, but this expires at midday if you first stamp it before 10am. If you stamp it after 10am but before 10:15, the ticket lasts until 13:30. If you stop at a rail station on the district line there's a 30p surcharge because of a Victorian law dating back from 1846. You can claim this back by writing to the Mayor of London's office because of a loophole in this law. The letter must be written in blue ink and posted with a second class stamp due to another Victorian law passed in 1848.

It's quite a simple system really.

Best thing to do in London is get an oyster card - http://www.kennedypearce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/oyster.jpg - from a shop

Then you just top it up, either at the shop or at a train station where you see an Oyster sign - http://williamleeks.com/blog/content/19-oyster-swipe/card-reader.jpg

Then you can use it on buses, trains, trams etc you just beep it on the sign. but it works like a phone. use it too many times and you'll need to keep topping up (only if you get pay as you go) it really does make travelling so much better and easier.

Like how much would you recommend topping up if I'll just be using it a few times?

I'm going to a summer school at KCL in two weeks time. I'm planning on getting a bus from Victoria coach station to where I'm going. Do I pay the fare on the bus or do i need to get a special ticket beforehand??

What do you look like? I'm going there too so thought I'd stalk you.

What week are you on?

Do Oyster cards know what type of ticket you're buying? I.e. child return, adult return etc or how does it work?

The one in two weeks.

Oh okay. What course?

Also do you know if we'll have any free time or opportunity to meet people on other courses?
