Very long queue and it's very crowded inside, but still manage to help my sister to get a Longchamp bag.

We saw news from BBC saying that King's Cross station is over running engineering works services and all trains from King's Cross station is cancelled. If we want to go back we can take the train from Finsbury Park station. Therefore, we have to extra one more night and look for hotel in last minute.
