Once in London, you can take the Underground from either Victoria or London Bridge stations. If you arrive at Victoria, take the Victoria Line towards Walthamstow Central and change at Oxford Circus to the Bakerloo Line towards Harrow & Wealdstone, getting off at King's Cross St. Pancras. If you arrive at London Bridge, take the Northern Line to King's Cross St. Pancras. The cost for a train ticket varies but is typically around £15-£25 depending on the time of travel and how far in advance you book.

  Alternatively, you can take a National Express coach from various locations in Sussex to London Victoria Coach Station. From Victoria Coach Station, you can take the Underground (the Victoria Line) to King's Cross St. Pancras. The bus fare ranges from £10 to £20, depending on the time of booking and travel.
