You can buy Oyster cards at many newsagents, and top them up there too. There will probably be CCTV, but privately owned by the shop.

- masfuerte 2y agoThank you. It seems like I was misinformed. Last time I was in London my old Oyster card wouldn't work and I was told I couldn't top it up (which is probably true) and I couldn't get a new card without ID (which seems to be false).
- Symbiote 2y agoApparently even the first generation Oyster cards should work [1] so at some point I was also misinformed. On Trip Advisor some people say cards can become deactivated if not used for years, but staff in a ticket office can reactivate them.
