Naoki F. • November 8, 2017The shop is actually located inside of King's Cross station. You can take a single picture at the 9 3/4 platform for 9 pounds. Lots of Harry Potter stuffs and novels are sold in the shop.
Ian • December 11, 2019National Rail station with additional tube lines. Links to South East London and beyond. Come out of platform 1 and turn right sharply to go to Embankment and the Thames.
Richard O. • June 28, 2011Don't expect to get a seat on the train in rush hour! Try walking to end of platform, away from ticket barriers for your best chance.

Rob D. • March 20, 2016Platform 1 is further away than the other platforms. Walk along platform 2 a bit and you'll see it.
Matthew P. • April 20, 2012If you're getting a 12 coach train, walk down the platform until you can see the Eye without the bridge supports being in the way and that's where the last coach will be :)
Marcos P. • August 10, 2011People tend to always get in the train at the beginning of the platform. Try moving towards the end to get a seat.
