King's Cross Underground Station

• King's Cross Station

  This rail station is on Euston Road, and the trains from all their lines go northwards. This station is literally next door to St Pancreas and they even share some of the services like the underground interchange network. The shops here are smaller than St Pancreas and this station seems more crowded than St Pancreas as well, so in all its not as nice. The main departure board is where all the people congregate to see about trains arriving and departing from. As this is next door to St Pancreas, the tube station serves both trains stations and is an interchange for six tube lines, (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan Line, Northern (City Branch), Piccadilly and Victoria ). I can tell you that these are very busy with people travelling into and out of the stations and as there are two of them and six underground lines, when peak times come around it van get very busy and very crowded. If any emergency, delays or strikes, these can be horrendous, so always check the travel news. With bus routes outside along with the city of London, you can opt for balck cabs as well if you needed so there are a lot of alternatives. As a last point on Kings Cross, this is the where platform 9 ¾'s is from the infamous Harry Potter films and even has a trolley embedded into the wall half in and out where tourists go and take their pictures with.

• Crowded but lots of shops.

  Welcome to Kings Cross. There are many shops and eating places here, only a few you can actually sit down and have somthing.You have a small boots store, a large WH Smith store, Burger King, a Bagel store, 2 Upper Crust stores, M&S simply food, whistle-stop off licence and a pub. The pub is the only place you can actually sit in, if you can find a spare table.The station is always busy and most people hang around the main departure board near WH Smith.If you want to use the toilets you will need 30p.

  I think that the station terminal is as well provided for as any of the major UK airports. There is a great variety of things to eat whilst waiting for your train which now thankfully seem to be on time. I visited the yo sushi recently and thought it was great. If you wanted to take some lunch with you ( as prices on the train tend to be high) you could always visit the m&s simply food. For reading material you could visit 1 of the 2 w h Smiths stores for a magazine or 2 to pass the time. The display times are at either side of the station.
