How to reach London centre

There are different ways to reach London centre and the hostel at King's Cross depending on which is your arriving place:

• If you fly to Standsted airport the cheapest way to get the centre is by a direct National Express coach. You can also take the Standsted Express train to Liverpool Street station, which takes less time but it's more expensive. These coaches and trains will leave you in main stations from where you can take the Underground to King's Cross.
• If you fly to Luton airport the fastest way to get London centre is by taking the train to St. Pancras. Before reaching the Luton Airport Parkway station you first take the DART transit train from the airport, which takes 5 minutes to reach Luton Airport Parkway. From there the train will leave you at St. Pancras, which is 10 mins walking from the hostel.
• If you fly to Gatwick airport the cheapest way to get the centre is by train as the airport has its own station and you can pay with the Oyster card (or contacless card or NFC phone). You can also buy the conventional train ticket if you have troubles with contactless payments. There are direct trains to St. Pancras, which is 10 mins walking from the hostel.
• If you fly to Heathrow or City airports, these airports have its own station in the Underground.
• If you take the train to St. Pancras station (like the Eurostar) you're taking a direct train that leaves you 10 mins walking from the hostel!
• If you take a coach to Victoria coach station, poor you, what a tiring trip. After you recover your body movility you'll have to walk for 10 minutres from the coach station to the Victoria train station. From there you can take the Underground to King's Cross.

Underground and trains usually ends at midnight and starts at 5:00. On Friday and Saturday there is the Night Tube with trains running on 5 of the Underground lines. There are also some night buses and 24h buses. Check them on Google Maps or on the TfL website.
