Depends how far you want to go (between which zones).

Map of zones is here:-

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/gettingaround/1106.aspx

Current tickets prices are here:-

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14416.aspx

There are discounts for using Oyster cards, and for weekly / monthly / 
annual tickets.

No there isn't.  VAT is not charged on rent and mortgages, which is most
peoples' biggest cost by far.  Your second biggest cost will probably be
travel.  Public transport fares also have no VAT.
 

How much is the Public Transport fares in London?

A quick google for one time credit card number seems to suggest that 
PayPal offer one-use-only credit card numbers. No idea if that's 
actually true, but might be worth a look

If you have to do it, can I suggest you try to avoid putting the whole 16
digits in 1234 5678 1234 5678 style format as this would be a very easy
thing to parse for. Rather think up something like:



An unencrypted credit card number sent over the Internet is highly unlikely
to be compromised while in transit. There's just too much other traffic and
it's too much effort while there is lower-hanging fruit.

The real risk here is that the hotel apparently doesn't have a clue about
security of credit card numbers. For example, they may just print out the
email, and then shuffle over to reception to enter the number into their PDQ
machine. The printout quickly gets lost in the pile of other paper clutter
there, for any passing scrote to help themselves to.

Obfuscation won't help you there.

I think you must have a bug. Finding three MD5 collisions in seven files 
that are actually different to each other would be a really remarkable 
result
