Unless you can find a rental office actually at St Pancras


how about at Ebbsfleet...


You know, I don't actually think there are any car rental facilities
at Ebbsfleet, not yet at least. Perhaps there's somewhere in
Northfleet, the adjacent town. I'm sure they'll be somewhere in
Gravesend.


Ah, I knew my visit would be useful! There's an Avis office just
inside the door at Ebbsfleet.

For the information of the OP in California, Ebbsfleet is on the South East
fringe of London. It is a new station that has been built to be served by
Eurostar trains and to allow people not to have to go into the centre of
London. To get there from Cookham you would go through Maidenhead to the
M4 and head in the direction of London until you got to the M25. You would
follow the M25 anti-clockwise (it runs around London) as far as the A2 and
then follow that away from London - on a Sunday morning a bit more than one
hour.
