Does anyone commute to/or have good travel tips on getting to Kings Cross on weekday mornings/evenings?


Currently taking the P4 to Brixton then Victoria line.


Have considered 363 to Peckham > London Bridge > Northern Line - but this seems ridiculous.


Any suggestions would be appreciated!


Thanks

Pretty certain From Peckham Rye you can get a train straight to St Pancras in the mornings and evenings. (approx 25 minutes)

Or the train to Victoria is pretty quick then get the Victoria Line up.


I always use 63 or 363 to Peckham Rye. Or depending where you are on Underhill the 12 or 197 from barry road.

If I can put in a word for cycling (I know it's not for everyone, just for information!) the superhighway now runs all the way to Kings X, so it's virtually all off-road from Peckham Library, and the bits that aren't are exceptionally quiet backstreets.

I'd recommend cycling too - back streets / park and cycle superhighway make it not nearly such a daunting prospect as it was a few years ago. 35-45 mins and you are in control of your departure times much more than public transport.


Otherwise another option is to cycle to Peckham for the direct train to St Pancras (or with one change at Blackfriars - a step across the platform you get a few more departure time options).

There are only a small number of Thames Link trains from Peckham Rye that now go as far as Kings Cross in the mornings since the new time table debacle. Many (most) stop at Blackfriars and you have to change to continue further. Not a major hassle as its normally only the opposing platform but choose your trains carefully! Fine once your are on one but it's not a particularly comfortable experience and very very busy (but you get there in the end as I do every morning!)

East Dulwich to London Bridge, then get one of the many Thameslink trains running to St Pancras from Platform 5. A little slower than direct train from Denmark hill, but much more reliable and pleasant.


Otherwise, cycle to Brixton and get the tube, or cycle all the way.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
