Showers at or near to Kings Cross

[Kryten2340]

I am travelling to London for a gig at Hyde Park 2 weeks on Saturday but the slight snag is the gig starts at 1 as it's an all day festival and I can't check in properly into the bnb until 2. I check in beforehand and leave bags etc but the rooms won't be ready. I'm travelling from Newcastle at 6:55am which means I need to be up at 5:30 so I'm wondering if there are any showers at or near to Kings Cross that I can use to waken myself up and get changed. I'm only travelling at standard class.

Any help welcome.

There are some at Kings Cross although I have looked before and I have no idea where they are hock:

They are at the Gents toliets on platform 8

That they are, although NR don't seem keen on revealing the cost of them! Would expect them to be about a fiver though.

Worth pointing out you can also find showers at Paddington (platform 1) and Euston.

First class ticket holders only at Euston

I used the toilets (where the showers are as well) yesterday, and briefly saw there was a poster advertising a £5 (or so) deposit for a shower pack, not sure if that included the actual hot water though...

A 1st single to the first station out of Euston will get you in. No more the £3 I expect.

Out of interest, on what TOC?

Hmm, don't know about that. £6.80 is the cost of a first class single to Harrow and Wealdstone. Don't think you'll find a cheaper first class ticket out of Euston than that, with the possible exception of a lucky advance.

I think it his a Virgin lounge so you might need to eb a virgin first class passenger

Yes - or a Scotrail passenger using the sleeper, with a first class ticket.

London Midland don't pay for the lounge.

Isn't the arrangement that all sleeper pax can use the showers? I may be thinking of something else.

I think that might be the arrangement at Paddington...

Ah yes you may be right there.
