Londoners: What's the best public transport option from Heathrow to Kings Cross?

[mjr]

No it's not. Stanstead Express to Ely, pop two stops over to Peterborough and from there, GNER northwards. There's far worse places to wait for a train than Ely station.

Greater Anglia to Ely. The Stansted Express brand is only used to London. Or you can get Crosscountry direct Stansted to Peterborough but it's often silly busy.

There's far worse places to wait for a train than Ely station, but not many windier! 🌬️

I'm sure I've seen special Stanstead services from Ely, but then it's been a couple of years since I last took a train out of there despite it being my local "big" station, so my memory may well be faulty.

Or colder! But they're improved the facilities markedly. Failing that, there's a Costa Coffee in the Tesco at the other end of the car park.
