Underhill Road > Kings Cross

[NewSlang]

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.

63 all the way to KX or train Denmark hill/peckham rye to st Pancras on thameslink.

Overground from Forest Hill or HOP to Whitechapel, then Hammersmith and City to KX.

12 bus to Peckham and then direct train

P4 to Herne Hill then Thameslink up to St Pancras; the Thameslink is slower & less frequent than the Victoria from Brixton though, so not much in it I'd guess - depends how long the P4 takes to get from HH to Brixton at that time of day.

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.

[McMurphy]

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!)

[rendelharris]

Just for info the direct Peckham Rye Kings X/St.Pancras trains are 6.04, 6.34, 7.04, 7.14, 7.34, 8.04, 8.34 and 9.04. As Katie says, you've got more options if you don't mind changing at Blackfriars.

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.

Thanks everyone for such a flurry of responses!

Much appreciated : )

Another thought, the P13 to Tulse Hill, then Thameslink to St. Pancras Intl.

[ludoscotts]

I take the 185 to Vauxhall bus station the Victoria line or 176 the elephant and castle then northern line.
