Accessible travel by Tube from Heathrow to Kings Cross
I understand the Tube is the best way to get from Heathrow to Kings Cross. Does this journey have escalators and lifts all the way? I am unable to carry my cases.
Best Answer
What you want here is the Avoiding stairs Tube guide, linked from the TfL Accessibility guides page.
In this guide you will see that all the Heathrow stations, as well as King’s Cross St. Pancras, are marked with Lift access between street and platform, and additionally all have the Platforms with designated level access boarding point indication, which means that at certain points along the train there will be level access all the way onto the train (so you won't have to step up or down).
You will be able to wheel your cases the whole way.
