Kings Cross is the London terminus of the East Coast Main Line, running north to York, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Leeds. It sits directly beside St Pancras International, which is where Eurostar services arrive and leave, and the two are close enough to walk between but far enough apart to matter when someone is meeting you.
Kings Cross or St Pancras
This is the most common source of confusion at this location. They are two separate stations sharing a corner. If your train is a Eurostar, or a Thameslink or East Midlands service, you want St Pancras. If it is LNER, Great Northern or a Grand Central or Lumo service, you want Kings Cross. Tell us which when you book and your driver waits at the right one.
Where we meet you
The roads immediately around Kings Cross are heavily restricted, with limited stopping and frequent enforcement. Rather than circling, your driver arranges a specific meeting point with you before you arrive and calls when they are close. For arrivals we can meet you inside the station concourse with a name board if you would prefer not to search for a car.
Journeys people book from Kings Cross
- To the airports — Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton, usually for passengers arriving from the north and connecting onward
- Into the City and the West End — a short run that is nonetheless slow at peak times
- To hotels and meetings — with luggage, where the Underground is a poor option
- Out to the home counties — where the onward rail connection is awkward or has stopped for the night
The hours we run
We collect and drop off between 8am and 6pm. The first departures north and the last arrivals into Kings Cross fall outside that, so check your train times against our hours before booking.
Within those hours, a delayed train is not a problem: call the office and we will move the collection rather than run up a waiting charge, provided the new time is still inside our operating window.
Luggage
Passengers coming off a long-distance service usually have full-size luggage, and the walk from platform to street at Kings Cross is not short. Tell us how many cases you have and we will send a vehicle with the boot space, rather than something that technically seats everyone.
Booking your King's Cross Station transfer
Every journey is arranged and accepted in advance. We are a licensed private hire operator, not a street-hail taxi service, so cars cannot be flagged down or picked up from a rank.
When you request a journey, please give us:
- The passenger name and a contact telephone number
- Correct pickup and destination addresses
- The date and required pickup time
- The number of passengers, and the amount and size of luggage
- Flight or sailing details where they apply
- Any accessibility requirements that affect the vehicle we send
The price shown when you book is an estimate based on what you tell us. Our office confirms the final price before you travel, and it does not change afterwards because of traffic or a longer route.
