A backpack is a good idea, though, and a little one for the kid. If you choose carefully, you can probably get all the clothes you'll need in a moderate sized backpack that won't be too heavy, and that'll give you a two free hands if the kid is tricky.

It sounds as if you might get into London in the rush hour. What the best option is then, I don't know!
