do you mean overland train station?
Blackfriars, probably. But depends where you are coming from?

Tube - obviously Chancery Lane.

Bit of context?

overland.

I'm wanting a direct route but we're travelling from Yorkshire so we would have to change.

Could we walk from Kings Cross to the hotel or is it too far?

You could maybe walk from KC, about 20 mins I think - but way easier to get the tube/grab a cab. Pretty close by. You are defo arriving into the right area of the city ie North central.

brilliant.

well thats a start. So long as we're at the right side and we can negotiate taxis or underground when we're there.

It'll take longer than 20 mins to walk from KX to blackfriars/Chancery lane. You could get a train from St pancras (opposite KX) to Blackfriars and walk it, or you could tube it, would have to change, though. Or get a cab from Blackfriars, cabs outside the station (used to work there).

Actually just had a look at where it is, you could get off at City Thameslink (train from St Pancras), it's not far from there.

you can get a 63 bus from KX to farringdon rd, which is about a five-min walk from chancery lane. I think I'd probably just get in a cab though - should be about £6, and once you've paid for two bus tickets, the difference is pretty small ..

SWC, Euston is the opposite direction.

Actually, its quite a walk from Chancery Lane station - however, Hoborn is really close tube station - just hope on the Picadilly line from Kings Cross to Holborn, then is just 5 minutes walk from Holborn tube (if that!). If you're going to be coming with not much luggage, that's the best way to go. Also - get an Oyster card (swipe travel card) as is sooooooooooo much cheaper on the tube/buses using one of those than buying tickets all the time.

Is longer than a 5 minute walk from Farringdon Road to Chancery Court - more like 15 minutes (I work around there).

Thanks for all that.
I will probably avoid the tube like the plague cos I'm a bit scaredy cat.

Taxi for £6 sounds good to me
