Oyster cards - Purchasing one in a shop?

Very quick and silly question - I've lost my Oyster card recently and i need another one ASAP so where sells them or do i HAVE to order another one from the website?

Lots of newsagents have them. You don't have to register it if you don't want and I think it's something like £3 refundable for the card itself.

All tube stations will sell them as well.

You can walk into most tube stations and pay the £3 deposit to get one.

If ya registered on oyster webby just log in and state u lost your oyster card, they will usualy just resend out a new card and it will contain the balance before u lost your old card

but it takes 5 working days....

Suppose u can use one with a bit of credit in mean time but all depends if u had a lot of credit on the other one... or do both options if ya tight

Hmm, i thought i had registered mine but i had forgotten my details. Just tried to get them back using the postcode thingy and all the e-mail addresses i could have used...all fail.

Luckily there was only £2-3 on it's not too bad. I assumed you could only top-up Oysters at newsagents and Tube stations, not get another physical card. Swear someone had told me that!

Thanks.
