    Traveling to london, heathrow 2 adults & 1 15 yr old for 3 days. We want to do the normal touristy stuff (covent garden, buckingham palace, piccaddily circus, madame tussauds hop on/off tour bus & lots of shopping :))
    Can anyone advise whether we'd be better off buying oyster/travel card/london pass & oyster. Thank you

    Yeh, just for convenience sake do get Oyster Cards for all. If you aren't planning on returning to London anytime soon thereafter you can get your £10 back for each if you return them all.

    Buses only accept Oyster Cards or valid contactless bank cards anyway. Get Oyster Cards for all and put £25 in each or something and that should almost do you for the weekend.

    Covent Garden/Picadilly Circus/Leicester Square/Buckingham Palace/Oxford Street all within walking distance of eachother but the walking can become tedious, especially if the weather isn't great!

    Google 2 for 1 London offers and if you have a train ticket you get 2 for the price of 1 on some attractions.
    I have used it on the London Eye and in the Tower of London good reductions to be had.
    Also look up free things to do in London 1 that I did was a roof top bar in a shopping centre near St Paul's Cathedral you an go up there with kids for a while no one approaches you to spend at the bar and it has great views !
