Marylebone to King's Cross

We're getting the Eurostar tomorrow morning. We (2 adults, a 5yo and a 3yo in a pushchair, with one large suitcase) need to get from Marylebone to King's Cross. Is it madness to attempt to do this on the Underground? We're happy to carry the pushchair, but I'm not sure this is allowed on escalators and I know some stations have a lot of steps. Has anyone done this journey and/ or can advise?

Sorry OP, don't know how to edit posts on the app. Typo meant to say put the buggy brake on.

The brake on the pushchair is actually broken🙈 Have been on buses with it a few times as is and it was fine. Can always collapse it and put it in the boot if it seems too risky!

Taxi it. Buggies during rush hour are a nightmare and with two kids two adults have one each and what about the luggage? Give yourself a break and book a taxi.

Black cab. It has the space for everything and will get you to the door of St P's station.

Don't forget that if you do take the tube it's quite a hike from the tube station to the Eurostar.

the Eurostar goes from St Pancras NOT Kings Cross. So make sure you say St Pancras to the taxi driver to get to the right place. Otherwise you'll have to traipse 10 mins across the concourse & road to the other bit of station.

Absolutely this. Tell them you want Eurostar departures at St Pancras and you'll be absolutely fine.
