How to change from Kings Cross to St Pancras?

When you alight from a national rail train, simply walk to the end of the platform where you will find ticket barriers and an exit onto Kings Cross Square. Turn right and cross this large pedestrianised area, walking towards the grand red brick clock tower of St. Pancras hotel.

Since King's Cross does not have international trains, you do not need to go through passport control or security. I usually allow about 45 minutes, but I travel with children who need snacks and potty breaks. You can show up 30 minutes before your train departs and be just fine.
