I'm spending some of my hard earned travel miles and taking my 9 year old to London in early December for a long weekend. I've only ever travelled here on business so didn't pay much attention to expenses previously.

If we plan to do lots of travel on the Tube, is an Oystercard our best bet? Or just day travel cards?

We'll arrive at LHR, take the train to Paddington, then the tube to hotel at Tottenham Court Road. I plan to do shopping in the Oxford Street area and some museums (British museum, V&A). Maybe a tourist-y thing like the Palace as well. I plan to use the Tube most of the time and not spend on taxis if possible.

Thanks in advance, and any other suggestions to amuse a 9 year old boy on his first trip to London (and anywhere outside the US) would be appreciated.
