    Possible but tricky and complex. Get a cab/bus from Kings X to Paddington and take Heathrow Connect.

    From Kings Cross to Paddington you would need to take either the Circle or Hammersmith & City Line, both of which use these trains which are actually wider than standard trains in the UK. They are not what many people consider to be 'tube' trains, see here for a size comparison. From Paddington you can take a normal train to Heathrow.

    Nearest airport to Kings Cross is London City Airport.

    But no idea if there are any flights to Heathrow.

    Hope that helps. :D

    Then you have too much luggage for many national rail trains. I suspect you mistaken on the space available, either on tube trains or on national rail trains. How much luggage do you have?

    I think it was more to do with ease of carrying it about and moving around with it on crowded underground trains than having 'too much'.
