KATHY 買左OYSTER CARD (TOP UP £3.6+£5 deposits= £20)+7 DAY TRAVEL CARD (Zone 1-2, i.e. £31.4)=£40 (好貴哦!!!)

HEATHROW AIRPORT 在第6區，要坐我住的GREAT PORTLAND STREET即第1區，有OYSTER CARD 就£3 (OFF-PEAK), £5 (PEAK HOUR) 單程票，所以第一程必須開OYSTER CARD。

然後第一個星期開7-DAY PASS來用，因為它是£31.4，所以除七日，大概每日要£4 以上，但如在ZONE 1-2 單程票一張就要£2.8 PEAK, £2.2 OFF PEAK)，似乎一次來回就已經要£4 以上了，因此，用OYSTER CARD應該是最經濟的了。

7 DAY TRAVEL CARD (zones 1-2)£31.40+ OYSTER CARD deposit £5 (含押金3英鎊跟2英鎊的額度)+ £10= £46.4

P.S. OYSTER CARD from HEATHEROW AIRPORT TO Carr-Saunders ( Take the Piccaddilly line(BLUE) to Hammersmith and change to the Hammersmith and City line eastbound to Great Portland Street) (PINK) (approx 1 hour 15 minutes).

我住係這個第一區，看地圖是第一區應該是行路都去到景點個隻。這一間應該是一間著名大學的宿舍，冇得讀都有得住，又係貴D，哈。

由於太早了，還沒有空房給我，於是我胡亂找個地方去，我去了Convent Garden，但是太早大部分檔口仍未開門，我只好去食早餐，然後一直行，四圍逛，唔知自己行去邊，睇地圖又覺得好煩，所以食完早餐後，四圍走走買下衫，差點去到Leicester square。
