Arriving at London Kings Cross

Situated on Euston Road in the Borough of Camden, Kings Cross is the southern terminus of the East Coast Mainline, making it one of the UK’s most central railway hubs. It connects the capital with the east of England, such as York, Stevenage, and Newcastle, and the east of Scotland, like Edinburgh.

It’s also a brilliant station to arrive at because it boasts quick and hassle-free public transport links along with a wealth of things to do nearby. For example, it’s only a two-minute walk to St Pancras International Station, and London Euston is further up the road for those with ongoing rail connections.

Kings Cross Station is also home to a London Underground Station of the same name, serving the Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City, and Victoria lines. Taxis and bus routes are available outside the station along Euston Road, too.

If you’re in the mood to go sightseeing in the capital, then you’re in luck. The Gagosian Gallery, the British Museum, and Bloomsbury Theatre are within walking distance. If you’re feeling peckish, visit Coal Drops Yard for a spot to eat or, if you prefer, a place to shop till you drop.
