How to choose. Public transport wins on price for one traveller with hand luggage at 10am. A taxi usually wins when there are two or more of you (one fare for the car, not per person), when you have hold bags or a pushchair, for flights before the first train arrives or landings after the last one leaves, and when a change of train or a station without lifts would be a problem. Rail fares above are per adult; add £4–£6 per person for the DART/shuttle where shown, and remember engineering work most weekends.

Step-free: King's Cross St Pancras Tube step-free to platform (all lines); Euston step-free to platform; Angel/Russell Square not step-free. Buses: All TfL buses are low-floor with a ramp and wheelchair space; wheelchair users travel free; source https://content.tfl.gov.uk/accessible-travel-in-london-leaflet.pdf. Blue Badge parking: Camden: parts of borough (around King's Cross/Bloomsbury) fall under the central London Blue Badge restrictions - use marked disabled bays. Guide & assistance dogs: Assistance dogs welcome on all TfL and National Rail services and may use escalators on local public transport. Pets on public transport: Dogs allowed free on all TfL services (carried on escalators); National Rail: up to 2 dogs per passenger free, on lead; source https://tfl.gov.uk/help-and-contact / https://www.nationalrail.co.uk.

Travelling with us: assistance dogs always travel free in every car, no notice needed (Equality Act 2010). Other dogs and pets are welcome by prior arrangement – tell us when you book so we send a suitable car and a driver who is happy to carry them. Folding wheelchairs, walkers and mobility scooters that fold go in the boot at no extra charge; if you need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle or extra time at pick-up, say so when booking and we will confirm availability before you pay. Rail step-free status changes when lifts are out of service – check the station page or book Passenger Assist (ideally 2 hours ahead); on TfL you can turn up and go.

Child-friendly King's Cross: places for children & family dining (nearest researched hub to Whetstone: King's Cross)

Family restaurants: Dishoom King's Cross; Honest Burgers St Pancras; Wagamama King's Cross (Pancras Sq).

Baby changing & feeding: Baby-changing in free toilets at St Pancras International and King's Cross (Network Rail).

Child seats: licensed private hire cars are exempt from the child-seat law when a seat is not available, but we would rather fit one – give us the children’s ages when you book and we will bring the right seat where we can (free, subject to availability), or you are welcome to bring your own. Pushchairs and travel cots go in the boot at no charge.

Car park, car hire, rail and accessibility details are as published by the operators and airports (seen October 2026) and from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors) – check before you rely on them; TfL Journey Planner times are for a weekday 10:00 departure. Our fares are the fixed saloon price on the linked route page.
