Train for London

anyone know what Tubes prices are like for both Adults/Kids, and the easiest way to get from LKX to Wembley and back (we would loads of time before KO and upto 2 hours after, if it went to Penalties, obvs more if it ended on 90mins!) - is 2hours enough time to fight off the masses walking down Olympic Way and onto the Tube at Wembley Park, when we'll have a child with us, alongside a 70 year old who struggles to work more than 100 metres at a time without needing a wee rest.
Up to four kids under 11 free per paying adult. I got on after Charlton within 30 mins with no scrambling. They are frequent. Not sure on prices. But I capped at £11 for a day recently including a trip to Uxbridge from central London. The absolute maximum is £17ish and takes a lot of use.

Cheer mate, Bairn is 12, and i cant be fooked with Oyster cards so guessing she'll now be classed as an Adult, right?

You gotta be ... but the again so you visit London for the landmarks, or do you find a pub to sit in between 3 and 5
If we are there I'll be at Wembley....if not me and my lads will just treat it as a day out in the big city....no desire to watch the final if we don't make it

You don't need oyster. Use contactless bank card and as long as you check in and out at each stop your usage gets capped for the day.

No idea on max kids age but if they're entitled to travel with you just use the disabled/wide access gates otherwise someone will end up getting stuck.

Edit: just seen the post you replied to saying Max age 11

Use two bank cards?
 
If we unfortunately don't make the final, how many fellow mackems are going to be wandering around London with their other half looking extremely disappointed to be there?

I know I will certainly be one 😂 😂

Not sure if adult or of there is a younger one. You can use a credit or debit card instead of an oyster it works the same.

I thought it charged you the full adult fare, even if she's under 15 - if it saves farting about, I dont mind tbh

Maybe. The nipper is ten so never thought about it. If you have two cards you can use then it will work the same as two Oyster cards. I don't think they check really. She is the height of a 13 year old and just walked through with me.

Camden Friday,wembley then kings cross area saturday,canny weekend
Kings Cross is very smart these days, if you not been recently. Certainly a lot more to it than Millers and, the sadly passed, Flying Scotsman. I would be more inclined, if staying at KX, to head to Holborn first then KX for the twilight shift.

Planning on going to all the railway arch bars between Southwark and Bermondsey. Had a few cracking days out down there. Direct on the Jubilee line too.
 
Anyone think (if we get there), the Weatherspoons outside St Pancras will be full early doors? 5 of us coming from 3 different places, hoping to meet at LKX so looking at options for breaky?

Any of the regular travellers to London, or those based in/around the area, recommend somewhere for Breaky on the Saturday AM? We should, if things go to plan, all arrive around 900-930

O'neills isn't bad. 5 mins from Kings Cross, St Pancreas and Euston.
