Kings Cross from East Dulwich

[mimifantasia87]

Quickest way from east Dulwich to Kings cross?

Thank you

[ed_pete]

37 to Brixton then tube or 37 to Herne Hill and train to St Pancras. Have you not heard of the Tfl journey planner ?

[mimifantasia87]

yes I have ! just thought someone local would know a faster route.

[Earl Aelfheah]

To be fair, TFL journey planner doesn't always give the fasted route.

[mimifantasia87]

Exactly!

Peckham rye to St Pancras on the thameslink

Or 63 bus all the way from Peckham Rye park

Guess it depends on where you live to be honest as "East Dulwich" covers a large area.

I usually cycle to Herne Hill and get the train to St Pancras or you can do the same from Denmark Hill (obviously both stations can be got to by bus). My guaranteed quickest route is cycle to Brixton then Victoria Line to KX. Quicker because of the regularity of tube departures but not as pleasant as the train. If you're travelling with lots of luggage and late at night or early in the morning then the 63 bus is a pretty good bet and once you're on, you're on (goes from Peckham Rye, FHR).

I can highly recommend the City Mapper ap which is real time and adjusts as you move. Very good for our option rich success poor transport situation.

Walk, cycle or bus to either Peckham Rye, Denmark Hill or Herne Hill.

Thameslink train from any of those station to Kings Cross/St.Pancras. V.short walk from St.Pancras to Kings Cross

Or even train from East Dulwich to Tulse Hill and change for Thameslink direct to St Pancras. As long as you don't leave the station Oyster will never know you ventured into Zone 3 temporarily! :)

The other way round is easy as its on the same platform island.

Have you got any advice on safe places to leave a bike in Brixton? I would cycle here more often, except I don't' really like leaving my bike there and don't want to carry multiple locks.

Take a rubby ducky on the Thames due west all the way to Bristol. From there you can take the 37 to the airport, fly to Rotterdam and take the megabus up to KX

I use Thameslink if in a hurry - 63 if not.

Megabus is full of students - is there a better way ?

I just lock it up on the racks outside the station and have been for years. I use a decent d-lock and have an integral lock on the wheel. The only problem I have had is when I left it there for 4 days and my saddle was stolen. My bike is second hand and covered in markings from 2 bike identification schemes which might help (that, at least, was the idea).

If you don't live directly on the 63 bus route. 185 to Camberwell, then the 45 or 176 or 40 to Elephant then the 45 or 63.
