Penny,<BR>The Gatwick Express goes directly from the airport into Victoria Station, there are no stops at Kings Cross.<BR>You can take a taxi from Victoria to your Bloomsbury hotel/B&B, about a &pound;15 ride.<BR>

Penny, I hit the send button before I was finished with my message! LOL<BR>If you are not sure about what visitor's pass will be the best one for you, you may want to consider just buying Tube tickets on a per trip basis ( trips within Zone 1 are &pound;1 and you can also get books of ten, called a Carnet, for a slight discount. Also, London is a very walkable town. *S*

Penny,<BR><BR>You can also take the Airbus at least to Euston, which is not far at all from Bloomsbury. It's cheaper than the Gatwick Express, but a good bit slower. But your taxi ride would also be a lot cheaper.

Ignore that - too late to stop myself from hitting send! Airbus doesn't go from Gatwick, it goes from Heathrow. I haven't had my first cup of coffee for the day. Sorry for any confusion.

As Ben Haines pointed out, the Thameslink train goes from Gatwick to King's Cross, I believe. Then cab from there.<BR><BR>

Nice to be quoted, but the escalator at Kings Cross Thaameslink station is out of order till late May, so I cannot now recommend that route from Gatwick. Going up the stairs there with luggage is a pest. I shall post to this forum when the escalator is back to work.<BR><BR>The weather these days is spiffing

"spiffing" is a good thing, right Ben? ;^)

Martha when you are writing about Bristish money please use the word POUND and not lb (very lazy of you).You could also use the term GBP. A lb is what something weighs not what it costs.
