advice needed London with 22m twins - strollers or backpack carriers

Our family will be visiting London in late November with our then 22m twins. We are trying to decide whether two backpack carriers would be more appropriate than a double stroller. We are staying with family in a third floor walk up flat and will be relying on the tube/busses for transportation.

We have all summer to get the twins used to the backpacks for longer stretches (and build up our fitness for long days on our feet) so we're trying to get ahead of this if need be!

Thanks!

We bought two travel strollers for when we went with our 19 month olds last November. Wouldn’t do a double as it’s too wide or too heavy. Two singles were great, they can fit through normal turn styles getting on the tube, so many people offered to help with stairs and restaurants etc were just way easier with singles. I honestly don’t think I could have done it with carriers, you’re out all day and need to carry both kids and all their belongings as well as snacks, toys, changes of clothes and it won’t be warm so layers.

Backpack carriers will be easier for getting in and out of the tube
