I have done this many times! mostly just my own research on trip advisor etc, no tour operators, if thats what you were thinking of? I booked the tickets on tickermaster.co.uk (though you may get them cheaper elsewhere).
If possible, identify what shows & attractions you'd like to see and that will narrow down the area you should stay in (either nearby or on one of the underground routes). With only a long weekend, I personally didnt want to spend too much time figuring out how to get around / getting lost, so the time I saw Wicked (great show IMO) I stayed near Victoria station & could walk to the theatre
Whereabouts is the financial area?
Definitely second getting an Oyster card. It provides considerable savings. Agree that we shouldn't be afraid to stray from the Tube onto London's iconic red buses - use the TfL Journey Planner to work out the best route. Bus fares are a flat fare so there is no need to worry about tagging off your Oyster or telling the driver where you are going unless you want him to let you know the stop. Generally bus stops in the city centre have good local information so if you are stuck somewhere you could do worse than find the nearest bus stop.
