Hello,

I'll visit London for one week in late August. As far as it's possible
by then I'll use the tube and buses inside zone 1 and 2 and probably for
a few journeys farther out than zone 2, including the way from and to
Heathrow. Especially for the latter I suppose it might be more
convenient to use an oystercard instead of a Visitor Travelcard plus
some additional tickets.

Can I apply for a regular oystercard at all, as I'm from Germany and
can't give a UK address?

Furthermore, in case I'd get one, can I choose a one-week oystercard and
additionally preload some money onto it for my journeys outside zone 1
and 2?

Thanks in advance for your advice.


Regards,
Joachim
