Answer 1

Not Denmark Street!

Denmark HILL!

Answer 2

No, the train to Denmark hill will definitely be the easiest, and quickest way. The hosptial is only about 5 mins walk away, so I would go for that.

Answer 3

It's not going to be any quicker, even if you splash out for a cab. Paddington is on the other side of London and Kings College Hospital is in a quite congested area, traffic wise. It's a short walk from Denmark Hill train station but many buses stop outside.

I suggest you book yourself on a later train back if at all possible to save yourself from a really stressful journey and the risk that you may not make your connections.

Answer 4

I get the underground Northern Line to Elephant & Castle then the bus. Should take around 45 mins. Have a look at www.tfl.gov.uk and use the journey plannner
