Hope someone can help me. I have tried looking on different links, but I must be doing it wrong. As title reads, I`m looking for cheap tickets from Peterborough to Kings Cross, London & back on the 12/11/10 I`ve never booked tickets before so please be gentle with me. Many thanks

That's tomorrow! When you say "King's Cross, London" do you mean just King's Cross or travel around London?
Assuming you'd like a Travelcard (unlimited travel around London on most buses, the Underground, most trains etc), the price is £29.50 (assuming no railcards) for an Off Peak Travelcard on East Coast, the restrictions are as follows:
“
ODT - OFF-PEAK TCDSTD ECC
00000 - ANY PERMITTED
Non-standard discounts apply
1 Adult @£ 29.50 = £ 29.50
OUTWARD TRAVEL
By any train except those
timed to depart London,
Stevenage, Peterborough,
Grantham, Leicester or Newark
Mon-Fri before 0954 or from
London Terminals or Stevenage
between 1555 and 1901
inclusive.
RETURN TRAVEL
By any train except those
timed to depart Mondays to
Fridays before 0954, or from
London Terminals or Stevenage
between 1555 and 1901
inclusive.
”
If you want to arrive a bit earlier you could get the FCC Only ticket.
“
ODT - OFF-PEAK TCDSTD FCC
00028 - FCC ONLY
1 Adult @£ 28.00 = £ 28.00
OUTWARD TRAVEL
Valid on the train shown and
all later services:
Peterborough 0845
RETURN TRAVEL
Not valid on any services
which are scheduled to depart
London Kings Cross, London St
Pancras Intl, Moorgate or pass
through London St Pancras Intl
between 1630 and 1901 (inc),
regardless of where you join
or leave the service.

The 0845 FCC service is the first train you can use on this ticket, this arrives into London at 10:02, about an hour earlier than you can arrive on East Coast. The first train you can use after the evening peak is 19:10 arriving 20:24, you can also use 19:22 arriving 20:40 and a fast train is available at 20:07 arriving 21:05.
If you just want a Day Return to London King's Cross only, that is £23.00 with the FCC Only ticket, with the same restrictions above.
The tickets can be bought on the station on the day of travel.
