I have managed to avoid taking projects in London for the better part of the past 15 years, as such I'm totally unfamiliar with the Underground, zones? ticketing etc. Obviously I don't have an Oyster Card or any kind of London travelcard passes.
A very interesting meeting has come up that I need to attend pretty close to Westminster so I need to get up to speed fairly quickly and am looking to pick the brains of you that have suffered the City more recently than myself.
Just to make things extra nice the meeting will finish at roughly 17:30 on a weekday.....
Option 1:
Train from Leeds to Kings Cross and back, cost is pretty absurd £70+ and Leeds parking to add. What am I likely to have to pay for Underground travel to Westminster from Kings Cross for a one off return trip and approx how long is that likely to take?
Option 2:
Drive from Halifax to some rail/underground station off the M1 (£40ish in fuel), park, take train/underground in. I have done this in the distant past, but I'm damned if I can remember where I parked and the Congestion charge nonesense didn't exist then either.
Looking for recommended station reasonably close to the M1 where parking is sensibly available, suggestions please.
From suggested station rough idea of how long it would take to Westminster underground and how much the return tickets are likely to cost and for that matter how they work with zones and the likes.
Cheers
