Airport Directions
Heathrow Airport
Heathrow is the easiest and most economical station for traveling to and from Kings Cross St. Pancras. When you arrive to Heathrow terminal 1,2,3,4 or 5 you are able to get the Piccadilly line direct to Kings Cross St. Pancras within 1 hour. The ticket price is £4.50 each way. You can also get the Heathrow Express which is more expensive currently £16.50. Even though this is a quick 20 minute journey into London Paddington you still have to travel to Kings Cross. Therefore overall it is very expensive and does not save you any time at all.
Luton Airport
London Luton Airport is only a one our train journey away from the Jesmond Dene Hotel. You will need to get a short bus connection from the airport to Luton Parkway station which is free of charge. From here you board the First Capital Connect train to Kings Cross St. Pancras which takes 40 mins. The current price for a one way is £13.50

London Stansted Airport
Very popular with cheap flights operated by Ryanair and Easyjet, Stansted is a very busy airport. The Stansted Express service is a train which runs from the airport to Tottenham Hale and Liverpool Street underground stations. It take 45 minutes. We do recommend you stop off at Tottenham Hale then switch to Victoria Line which is only four stops to Kings Cross St. Pancras. The only problem is that the service finishes at midnight, so if you are delayed you will miss the service. Alternatively you can catch a Bus service which is cheaper. Terravision, National Express and Easy Bus all operate this service. They operate 24 hours.
Driving Directions
The most common mistake when driving into Kings Cross St Pancras is to follow your satellite navigation. Unfortunately most of the time you will be diverted around the difficult one way system. Essentially Euston Road runs between Kings Cross Station and Argyle Street. Therefore when traveling East the station will appear on the left hand side. It is important that before you approach the station at the double set of traffic lights you take the immediate right turning into Belgrove Street. You then take the next first right into St. Chad’s Street. The Jesmond Dene Hotel is the cream corner building at the end of the road. If you are traveling west Kings Cross station will be on the right. Again ensure you turn left into Belgrove Road otherwise you will have to go round the entire one way system.
