travelling by tube

[gleno1]

Hello .My daughter and I are going down to London and are going to the Landsdown care home in Claremont Rd,Cricklewood.We need to know which tube station is the nearest to the home please.We are staying in Kings cross, Thankyou.

Cricklewood would be my guess. Not a tube station, though, take the overground from Kings Cross Thameslink station.

There's no convenient Underground station. You need to get to Cricklewood (National Rail) station.

St Pancras station is next door to Kings Cross station, so you can start from there. There are 4 trains per hour, direct to Cricklewood, with a journey time of just 11 minutes. The return fare is £3.10 but you can also use a Oystercard (where you'll have just £2 deducted from the available credit) or a Travelcard.

On leaving Cricklewood Station, turn left (onto Cricklewood Lane). The first turning on your left is Claremont Road, with the care home just a short distance along that road, on the right-hand-side. (It's only about 2 minutes walk from the station).

Mike obviously hasn't travelled that way for quite some time!

Kings Cross Thameslink station has been closed since December 2007 ;-)

Chris I was singing your praises the other night in the Days Inn, when I asked the question about the bed throws, telling my friend about the information on train times/fares in Finland, when we had a very short time to get to the airport. Fantastic resource, you are a mine of information.
