I would do the Victorloo route, because of the easy cross-platform transfer. It is also worth mentioning that if you are arriving or departing on a train, then it might be cheaper to add tube onto your train ticket than to pay for a separate bus fare, or it might be included in your ticket anyway. If you are going for a Eurostar, then you can buy a ticket to "London International CIV" which can actually work out cheaper than a regular train ticket to London, includes tube travel to St Pancras, and guarantees your connection onto the next available Eurostar in the event that your journey to London is delayed.
@@katrinabryce this is precisely why I included the bus, I don't know how much adding the tube to a ticket is, but if you're not using the tube loads, the bus has got to work out cheaper.
@@GoranNewsum The cost depends on where you are coming from. From Feltham for example, a single would cost an extra £1.70 off peak or £1.80 peak. For a return, you are going to hit the daily cap whatever you do. For Feltham to Crews Hill, it is cheaper to do a single journey entirely by rail than to break it in the middle with a bus journey. From Basingstoke, it costs an extra £10.30 to add tube to your train ticket. Probably best not to do that, and pay for them separately.
Nice video- but please next time test Waterloo - Green Park (Jubilee), then Green Park - King's Cross St. Pancras (Victoria). Tried this route recently and if you're a fast walker at Green Park I'm convinced it can be faster than the Bakerloo cross-platform method.
8th option: uber Then you can compare time and cost and sensory stimulation across all 8. For time, your bars should probably be presented as a range (min time -> max time, depending on the limits for how long you might have to wait).
As some who regularly travels on south railway trains to Waterloo and need to get to kings Cross. I get of one stop early at Vauxhalll and get the the jubilee line to kings Cross
@@chhitijpahari1011 I realised this too, and absolutely should have said it in the video. But I think there are some services that don't stop at Vauxhall.
Walk to Blackfriars, maybe stop for a coffee and then Thameslink was my usual route. Waterloo East -> London Bridge (south Eastern) -> St Pancras (Thameslink) also a good route when it’s too wet for a long walk.
This is exactly why I included Thameslink. Like you say, if you want to grab a coffee and have a nice walk along the Thames it's perfect. I'm just glad I did it on a day it wasn't raining!
The one thing I kept wondering was: "What about luggage?" If I were travelling into Waterloo from the West Country and then transferring to St Pancras for Eurostar, I would almost certainly have at least one suitcase...
@@okaykatieokay yeah, I had a look at the map again afterwards and saw I could have cut through the "city" (round the back of Waterloo East) but the walk along the Thames was worth it.
Excellent video! Many people will find this useful if they're not familiar with central London public transport. I am never sure which route to get - for speed and ease-of-connection I'd usually go Victorloo, but last time just for interest I went Waterloo - Tottenham Court Road - Farringdon - Kings Cross St Pancras, so I got to ride on a Northern Line Tube, Elizabeth Line and Thameslink train! I was pulling a wheely suitcase so appreciated the Elizabeth Line's step-free access. Maybe you could suggest a step-free option for those people who can't use stairs/escalators?
@@simon11235 I think Waterloo and King's Cross are both step free, with lifts to platform level, so should be fine for those with heavy luggage and/or people who can't walk far. I would recommend the Victor-loo route because it involves the least amount of walking.
@@GoranNewsum I looked it up on the step free tube guide and for those in wheelchairs the best route is jubilee line Waterloo to Green Park then Victoria line Green Park to Kings Cross St Pancras.
I considered that, but thought the extra walk was a bit too much. And if you're already at deep level, it'll take longer to go up to street level and walk, than it does to just change to the other Northern line platform.
But then you don't have the walk up to street level at KX, so that cancels out. The walk from Euston to KX is FAR less than the other walk you did. I think this would be quickest for me (a fast walker with no luggage). There's no right answer really - I would just do a different one each time. Another I've done is to walk from Waterloo across the river to Embankment and take the circle line. Not the quickest, I'm sure, but it avoids changing at least and you get a bit of a view of the Thames.
This video would be so much easier to watch if you kept camera steady and actually not on your face and your top or your hat As for journey via bank you went longest way possible to get both trains

The Oxford Circus cross platform change as being a blessing for many trips up from Waterloo to the Emirates

I love that you think there's going to be a next time! 😅
@@GoranNewsum considering it’s a very popular video of yours I don’t see why it would be a bad idea for a part 2!

@@MostlyLoveOfMusic I had considered the taxi option, but I think that's too rich for my blood!
@@GoranNewsum what about helicopter ;)
or more realistically, one of those bicycles for hire?
one route missed walk to blackfriars or 1 stop to southwark stn on the jubliee then bus 63 up to kings cross

Think you mea the Victoria line? - although unfortunately a lot of mainline services don't stop at Vauxhall. 😢
ah yes, the jubilee line between vauxhall and kings cross, 100% not a case of 'the jubilee line doesnt serve either'
Waterloo to Waterloo East.
South Eastern to London Bridge.
London Bridge to St Pancras by Thameslink
@@terrymoore9388 considering the proximity of Waterloo and Waterloo East that might actually be a viable route.
good route if you don't want to use the tube (also if you have an interrail pass) but takes easily 2x as long as most quick tube methods

@@andrewbutler7681 I think I do make this point in the conclusion.
Really good thumbnail congrats on a new most viewed video
The walk to Blackfriars is usually quicker via the cut (I often did this to get the thameslink train home after work)
Great video though!

Victoria Line Kings Cross to Oxford Circus the Bakerloo line to Waterloo..... Can do it in 15 minutes
Northern Line from Kings Cross St. Pancras to Waterloo. Nice and easy, job done👍🏻
Kings Cross is on the Bank Branch. Waterloo is on the Charing Cross Branch.
@@katrinabryce exactly, which means there isn't a direct route between the two stations. Hence the video.
yeah he did that by changing at euston
wait sam is that u? if so its tom the guard lol fancy seeing u here
also hate to say it but thats not possible
Northern Line to Euston, then walk down the Euston Road.

different branches tsk tsk
thar comment said to get the northern lone between those two stations, which this guy did in the video by changing at euston
the journey from waterloo to st pancras cannot be completed by using one continuous northern line train
