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.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
