I had to do a very similar journey to this last year. On the advice of
people in this group, I parked on street (for free) very close to New
Southgate mainline rail station (not the Tube station). You can then
get the train from there direct to King's Cross or Moorgate (or change
onto the Picc at Finsbury Park if you prefer).


Good point but I guess the Victoria for Kings Cross at Finsbury Park
would be a better bet. I don't suppose oystercards are valid at New
Southgate though.


Yes - Victoria would definitely be quicker, although it may also be
busier. PAYG Oyster isn't valid at New Southgate yet - see the map
here : http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloa...YG-Diagram.pdf

If you're travelling Off-Peak and you have a Network Railcard, it's
often cheaper to buy a One-Day Travelcard than use PAYG Oyster, even
with the daily capping.
