And it's a bit of a pain for tourists visiting the city on a once-off. That being said, cash fares in London are so high that an Oyster card is worth buying even if you're only there for a weekend. It is a bit of a tax on tourists though.
If you live in Ireland, you may as well get a leap card even if you only visit Dublin a couple of times a year. I stupidly got a personalised one which is a bit annoying as I presume my next annual rail pass will be leap-enabled.
