This First Capital Connect service runs into St Pancras and further south from there Blackfriars. Both of these stations are on the London Underground/Tube network.

just had a look at the location of your hotel - looks like it is equidistant from Borehamwood and Elstree station and Stanmore tube, and I don't think either is in walking distance. Travelcard probably costs the same from both: £8.90 for a day if you start after 9:30pm weekdays.

parking at Stanmore is £5 a day or £2 at weekends BUT the car park is usually full with commuters. Parking at B and E is £6.90 and may be less full.

might be good to ask the hotel about a bus...

If you do go from B and E, the quickest change between this line and the tube is at Kentish Town. Off the train, up steps, cross a bridge, into the main station, down an escalator. Changing at St Pancras involves a long walk through tunnels.

alternatively carry on down to Blackfriars or Farringdon if they are nearer your end destination.

Take the 615 bus to Stanford station and get tube in or alternatively the 107 to edgware and in on northern line. Stanmore quicker though.

The TFL journey planner works with the postcode of the hotel and gives Stanmore or B&E as options with a bus journey to either.
