Hello! Any help would be hugely appreciated! My six year old DD has never been to London but my husband and I are taking her for a day trip in the summer holidays. Getting in on the train to Kings Cross at 10 am and heading home at 4/5pm. Been a while since I have been so could any helpful souls out there advise on how best to travel, where to head to first from Kings Cross, lunch recommendations etc. From my recollection, I think she’d love the South Bank walk as always lots to see, somewhere like Borough Market for lunch, Covent Garden for street entertainers etc and maybe the free museums but she is desperate to see all the sights she’s learned about at school - the gherkin, Big Ben etc. Don’t want to make the mistake of spending the whole day travelling between destinations so any advice on where to go first, how to combine things etc would be very welcome. Thanks so much in advance!

You're going to have a very busy day if you're only in London for 6 hours and presumably need to eat and drink in that time.
From Kings Cross I would head for London Bridge on the northern line and base your day around the South Bank. You can see Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Globe Theatre and all the other local sights and maybe you'll also have time to cross the river on the foot bridge for a trip to the Sky Garden at the top of the Walkie Talkie building.
There's not really a way to cram in Covent Garden, Big Ben, Westminster, Horseguards, Trafalgar Square etc also in your time frame.
