You can select a Hop on, Hop off ticket, (£8.40 adult with a travelcard or £4.10 child with a travelcard) that gives you full flexibility for the day. However, for an even cheaper alternative, why not choose a single adult ticket for just £3.70 with a travel/oyster card, (£1.60 for a child aged 5 -16 with a travelcard, under 5’s free).
