Then I need to get the Underground to London Kings Cross Then Kings cross train to doncaster. How do I get from London Victoria Station to the underground?. I have no idea where it is.

I have 50 minutes to get there, and on return I have 45 minutes to get from Kings Cross to Victoria. Will I have enough time?.

  • Answer:

    Victoria Rail Station is right on top of Victoria Underground Station, it will be clearly signposted when you come through the barriers. From Victoria Station take the Victoria Line to King's Cross Station, you need the Northbound platform (train going to Walthamstow) in theory this part of the journey should take ten minutes If you're coming into Victoria Station before 9am, it is very, very busy & it isn't unknown for them to have hold people back in the main hall because the platforms are too crowded to allow people down to the tube, for health & safety reasons they have to allow the platforms to clear before they allow more people down, allow yourself a little bit of extra time for this & buying tickets for the tube

Victoria has its own underground station. Once you're in the railway station, just follow the signs to find the tube. To get from Victoria to King's Cross, take a northbound Victoria Line train. 45 minutes should be plenty for that journey.

Southern trains from Littlehampton normally come in on platform 16. From there, it really is very simple to connect to the London Underground station; leave the train and literally follow the crowd to the ticket barrier. Once your through the ticket barrier, you should see a cheese shop to your left. Walk straight ahead (still following the crowd of people). You'll walk past some ATMs to your right, followed by an escalator and this will then bring you out into the main station concorse. Still following the crowds towads the North East corner of the station; you will come to a Vodafone shop and a WHSmith. Follow the crowds outside to the Victoria station bus stop, and you'll see signs for the Underground station. If you get lost whilst doing that little walk, just stick your head in the air and look for signs saying "Underground". When you get into the Tube station, you need to take the Victoria line northbound towards Walthamstow and Kings Cross. This short journey will only take you about 15 minutes in total, so don't worry about the transfer via the Tube - When you look up train times online (or even buy your tickets online), it will always give you plenty more time for your connection than is actually required. So you'll have loads of time, dont worry! When it comes to buying Tube tickets, you don't actually have to. Don't even bother queuing up, as whatever ticket you've bought from Littlehampton to Doncaster (as long as its a through ticket to Doncaster) allows you to use the LU. Even cheapo Advance fares include Tube travel. Basically, National Rail tickets from one destination to another via two different London Terminals include Tube travel within the ticket. Eg. London to Bristol - Brighton to London Victoria, Tube from Victoria to Paddington, and Paddington to Bristol. All in one ticket. So you don't have to worry about buying seperate tickets for the Tube part of your journey. It will be the same for your ticket between Littlehampton and Doncaster. Just to make sure though, always check the "Route Permitted" part of the ticket. It should say "Any Route Permitted" followed by a "+" sign. That 'plus' sign means your ticket includes use of the Underground.

When you get off at Victoria Rail Station, follow the signs and go to the basement level for the London Victoria Underground. It's right there in the same building as Victoria Station. ^^. Just be warned that it *IS* the busiest station in the country and the ticket booth lines are often crowded - make sure you have your oyster card all charged up and ready to pay the fare, otherwise, you'll lose time standing in line to buy a ticket. Also, if you're traveling on the weekend, note that the Victoria line and several other tube lines are shut down, severely crippling the entire system. The platforms will be HORRIBLY crowded and you'll probably have to wait 2 tubes before you get on (it will be so crowded). Again, this will only happen on the weekend, so hopefully you'll travel on the weekday, when services are running on time.

When you go through the ticket barriers at Victoria walk straight ahead and look for the 'Underground' sign. Take the Victoria Line Northbound; it will take about 15 minutes to Kings Cross. When you arrive at Kings Cross just follow the signs from the platform to Kings Cross Main Line Station.

If I remember correctly, there's a tube stop either under the Victoria station or across the street. You can reach all of the major train stations from teh underground. I know there's an underground stop at king's cross St. Pancras.

yes that's plenty of time. the underground at Victoria is clearly sign posted. Kings x is on the Victoria line, 5 stops from Victoria.
