Family on the Tube

WSforever

What is the best way to get around on the tube as a family over a weekend?
I notice the 3-day travelcard is no more.
Contactless cards arent appropriate as we will have children/teenagers with us and as we will be visiting only once, Oyster cards seem OTT.

How much is a cheapest 3-day/weekend travelcard for 4 x adults and 3 x kids?

With so many people you may find it is cheaper to use taxis.

The cheapest way to travel would be a contactless bank card for each adult as it caps at less than the travel card rate. The children aged 10 and under travel free on London transport. A daily off peak 11-15 year old travel card for the 14 year old ( which will be cheaper if you have a rail card). The children follow you onto buses and for tube trains follow you through the luggage barrier.
