well, that cheers me up a lot!

I'm planning to get to London by the Eurostar train from Paris. The
train stops at the St. Pancras International station; so the King's
Cross St. Pancras subway station should be nearby. How do I get to
the Fulham Broadway station? How much is it?

Do you think the St. Pancras International station is a nice play
to have a meal and take some rest?

At a price! There are a few more reasonable alternatives across the road
from King's Cross station next door, including a pleasant enough noodle
bar cum takeaway.

And a terrific Ethiopian, five minutes' walk up Caledonian Road.

You have a choice from King's Cross St Pancras tube to Fulham Broadway.
Either the Circle or Hammersmith and City Lines westbound to Paddington
(Circle) or Edgware Road, changing to a District train from Edgware Road
to Wimbledon. The advantage of the Circle in particular and this route
in general is that the change at Paddington is on the same platform and
that at Edgware Road is often cross-platform. Sometimes you have to
cross the bridge there, though, hence my preference for Paddington if a
Circle Line train comes first at King's Cross.

This would also be my first choice of route.

The other route is to take the Victoria Line from King's Cross St
Pancras tube to Victoria and change to the District Line there. If the
first train if not for Wimbledon, take the first (but not a Circle
train) to Earl's Court and change to a Wimbledon train there.

Or Piccadilly from KX to Earl's Court. It's slower than the Victoria
option, but avoids changing at Victoria. I mention it largely for
completeness!
