Zone 1 rail and Tube station on the Victoria, Northern (Bank branch), Piccadilly, Circle, Metropolitan, and Hammersmith & City lines.
For those thinking of changing between the Victoria and Northern lines here, note that it's almost always better to do this at Euston instead, even if this involves a little doubling back (i.e. if coming from the north end of the Victoria line and changing to go south on the Bank branch of the Northern line), since the Euston interchange is cross-platform whereas the King's Cross one involves struggling through crowds along passages.
St Pancras International Station is the Central London terminus for Eurostar services to Paris, Brussels and other northern European cities. At its northern end there are also platforms for services to the Midlands and, beneath those platforms, a connection with the First Capital Connect (Thameslink) services from Bedford and Luton south to St Albans. An increasing number of up-market shops and boutiques are opening along the main thoroughfare through the station, which runs below the Eurostar platforms.
Note that St Pancras International Station is in NW1, while King's Cross Station is in N1.
