Query

Anyone know if there are luggage lockers/ left luggage facilities in Kings Cross station, or have they all been removed in the interest of Preventing Terrorists?

Incidentally, does anyone know if there's anywhere in Oxford, in the vicinity of St Giles, where you can get coffee and food of half past eight of a Sunday morning?

Well, I remember St Giles Café as well as the G'n'D's in Jericho, but I have no idea whether they are open at 8:30 a.m. I never tried to find that out... (Am not even sure whether this time of day actually exists.)

There are no lockers, but I think the left luggage place on platform 8 is still open - at least it was a couple of weeks ago. You probably have to be x-rayed and blood tested before you can leave a bag...

Not sure about Kings X (prob not), but the adjacent BL has luggage lockers and a cloakroom.

It's a while since I've been to King's Cross but the left luggage office (privatised) was still there within the last two years, as bookwormsarah says.

As for St Giles eateries on a Sunday morning, I think that G&Ds might be your best or most likely option.

The answer, on a Sunday, is, regrettably, MacDonalds. At least they do porridge now.

And i wouldn't have believed it existed if I hadn't had to try - although I do now know who's out in Oxford at that time of the morning: a few Anglicans, rather more Catholics (mostly Polish), and the ineviable French school party, who it seems you can't escape at any time of day....

That was what I thought.

Genius. That's what I shall do. They owe me one for loosing my material requests anyway!

Not of a Sunday. I ended up in MacDonalds, although at least you can get fresh orange juice and such like things there now.

Clearly I need to start running a breakfast cafe in my flat to cater to the Sunday morning gap in the market.

MacDonalds serves porridge for breakfast now? Hee! How very ... British.

Chips and cheeseburgers at eight o'clock in the morning might be a bit rich, though.
