So I just scored a grad job down in London starting later in the year that will see me work in the city of London itself
Ideally looking to find somewhere that has a direct tube connection to Bank or Liverpool Street. I don't mind a slightly longer commute, but ideally, I want to avoid connections for simplicity. So really looking for anywhere on the Central, Northern, Circle, H&C or Metropolitan line (although I've heard there's often issues with the Northern line, is this true?)
Asides from suggestions of suitable areas for young guys in their early 20s to live, which would be appreciated, I'm just wondering about the logistics of actually using the tube

I have a contactless bank card, does this make any kind of season ticket redundant? Also, do I need any form of ticket other than the card itself or do I just present it at the ticket barrier?
I'd imagine I'll be living in zone 2 or zone 3 and then commuting into the city centre 4 days a week. Now suppose I want to venture a bit further out for whatever reason, to visit a friend or whatever, that would involve going into the 4th or 5th zone, can I still use the contactless card and just pay a single fare?
Help would be appreciated, I don't know how to London
