    If you get travelcard £7.60 on a saturday I think your kid travels for £1 or something like that. not sure this applies to A to B tickets (although I think that a return is the same as a travelcard for most journeys)

    only do this 1-2 times a month so not sure of all the offers www.tfl.gov.uk might help. I just checked your journey and there are engineering works so you will have to chop and change buses and trains, ...

    EDIT: from website -

    Kids for £1

    Tube, DLR and London Overground Travelcards

    Accompanied Child Day Travelcard

    Adults who have a Travelcard, which can be of any zonal combination, can buy child-rate Off-Peak Day Travelcards (valid in zones 1-9) at a reduced price of £1 each for up to four children aged 11-15 inclusive when they travel with them.

    Free travel
    Did you know children under 11 can travel free on the Tube, buses, trams, DLR and London Overground? Find out more.
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour

  • Probably cheaper with an Oyster card (x however many people are going) though if you're just making a single journey (or return)

    A single is £4 each adult cash, or £2.20 with an Oyster card, which you can pick up at Stanmore on arrival. If your little girl is under 10, she will travel free. TFL site gives you all the options and more specifically for children HERE.
