Tube From Waterloo To Victoria
My hotel was in the Victoria area so I needed to get the tube / underground. As I used to live in London I knew my route on the tube to Victoria. In a later post I will do a step by step on how to use the tube
The entrance to the tube was located right beside me on the station concourse. This entrance had no escalators or ramps, just stairs, so I picked up my case and went down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs were directions to the various tube routes. I needed the Jubilee line so I followed the signs , along corridors to the Jubilee line. When I got to the tube station, I need to check how much money was on my Oyster Card.
The Oyster Card is a credit card sized travel card. It can be used on the regular London busses, tubes, DLR and some overground routes.

On this particular trip I decided to just top up my pay as you go amount. There are self service ticket machines and ticket desks at the tube stations. I mostly use the self service ticket machines. Some of the ticket machines are chip and pin payments only, and some are cash and card payments.
