Accessible Train stations in London - Kings Cross St. Pancras
All the London railway stations :
Underground lines : Northern, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Circle, Piccadilly, Victoria. National Rail, London Overland. ThamesLink
I visited Kings Cross via the Northern line from the brilliant new Bank station on the 9th May 2023.
From the platform at Kings Cross Northern line to the station hall, and then to street level, there were two clearly defined lifts available.
Kings Cross is a large conurbation of a station, but the Northern line exit and entrance is on the Euston road, this was perfect as I was visiting the British library in Euston road, whoch is nearby.
[If you are visiting the British library, and renewing your library card, take some ID and proof of address with you, as their website is incorrectly stating otherwise. I only wasted three hours, as I am a local.]

General description : Kings Cross is a very large National Rail station, with links to many Underground and Overland routes. The concourses linking the various sections are generally flat, but expect travelling some considerable distance between the different lines. All platforms are now step-free; but gaps and steps onto train lines are listed above for the Underground lines.
