It can be purchased at the Underground station. It costs £5 + however much credit you want on it, and you can get the £5 back when you surrender it at the end of your trip.

You do NOT need to register it (though registering it means that it will be returned to you if lost), but they require ID when you surrender it (which manes sense).

Hope this helps!

Thank you Nick

Milady and I bought a pair when we headed to London last month. It’s cheaper through TFL’s site; since we were being picked up from the airport, we had them sent to the address in London where we were staying.

Hope this helps.
