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.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
