I am renting a car in the UK then taking the Eurostar to Paris. Our rental car drop-off site is near King's Cross Station. I knkow that it is adjacent to St. Pancras, but the map shows the rental car drop-off several blocks east of King's Cross. Does anyone know if it is feasible to haul luggage from the drop-off to St. Pancras or if there is a shuttle service? Thanks!

WARNING!! Be careful about driving in the vicinity of Kings Cross, unless you really, really, know what you are doing. I drive into London frequently and I never try to do anything by car around there. There is a LOT of construction around there as they rebuild Kings Cross. If you are there on a weekday, Kings Cross is at the edge of the infamous Congestion Charge Zone. Cross the line and you owe £8.00. Don't pay it and tomorrow it is now ... wait for it ... £120.00.
This isn't to scare you, it is reality.
Where will you be coming in from? Can you drop the car on the way in and get a train to Kings Cross or St Pancras?
Now, maybe you want to go ahead... if so what is the address of the drop? Perhaps we can see where it is, and what options there are.

Thank you so much for your input. We have decided to drop off our vehicle further out of the city and take the train in. We apprciate the advice!
