London tube advice -- near LHR to Whitechapel area

Whenever you use a chip pay type system, a unique virtual card number is generated. If you have the same card in your wallet, on your phone, and on your smartwatch they will each identify separately. This is why it’s important to use the same method consistently.

The billing system will apply daily and weekly caps separately for each of you.

Thank you. I’d hoped that would be the answer. Otherwise a family using the same card would wreak havoc.

The contactless phone Google Pay worked like a charm. The only fly in the ointment was getting back to Heathrow on Sunday; there were line closures on Piccadilly, Heathrow Express, and Elizabeth lines. We had to take the Central to catch the Superloop bus in Hortholt. We were based near Tottenham Court Road and none of the workers there were of any used plotting our route to Heathrow on Sunday morning.

FYI I did just walk from Liverpool Street station to my destination.(thanks for the hint – took me a while to find the Bishopsgate East exit)
My only transport hiccup was after visiting 221B Baker Street (museum was closed, but i did use the door knocker) I took Jubilee line back to Bond Street the first Elizabeth line train was packed., I decided to wait for the next one. But the train I skipped was the last one to go as far as I wanted. The train then only went to Paddington. I panicked a bit – but it turns out I had to take that train to Paddington, and then take a different train (still on .the Elizabeth line) from Paddington to my destination (Hayes/Harlow)
I took the boat taxi from Canary Wharf to Westminster – cool way to get a lot of sights in (though I had to wait for a boat with room)

You need to tempt them out with marmalade sandwiches.
