Which is the cheapest way to get Bayswater from Luton aiport? We are
adult and two 14 years old children.

Probably Easybus www.easybus.co.uk
Runs Luton Airport - Victoria Coach Station.
You could take the Circle Line Tube from there to Bayswater.
(Bit of a walk to the Tube station)

Easy Bus are withdrawing this service and replacing it with an
allocation of seats on the 757 Green Line. Some of the coaches have an
all over advert for Easybus as a result.

Easy Bus are running to Stansted instead.

The GreenLine bus service stops at Baker Street Tube, so would be more
convenient. Tube or short bus journey to Bayswater from there.

Number 27 bus from Baker St heads towards Bayswater.

the 757 stops at stop A, the 27 bus goes from stops E or Z. It would
be sensible to check to see if the 27 goes near to your hotel or if
another bus would be better.

The Green Line 757 also stops at Oxford St / Marble Arch (stops O or P
on the map below). This is a very convenient place to change to buses 94
and 390 (stop P) along the Bayswater Road.

On arrival in London, buy some "PrePay Oyster Cards" (adult and two
child) at any Tube station. You will need to give a £3 deposit. The
Oyster Card saves a lot of money versus cash fares.

Assuming the OP and family are here for a while. The 14 year old
children may present a problem in terms of what fares they should pay
and how they get hold of an appropriate Oyster card to entitle them to
free or reduced rate travel. Having checked the leaflet the application
process takes two weeks for the 14-15 Oyster card so child rate One Day
travelcards at £1 per child assuming the adult has a full rate card seem
a more sensible option.
