The train earns its place for the lighter journeys to The Megaro. Via King's Cross St Pancras, here is the honest door-to-door maths.
The nearest station to The Megaro is King's Cross St Pancras, which is what makes rail a sensible option for the lighter journeys. The train only ever takes you station to station, though, so the full trip is usually a short car to King's Cross St Pancras, the train, and an onward leg at the far end.
Where the car sets you down matters more than people expect at N1 9PF. The entrance and access in plain terms:

The common The Megaro transfer questions, answered without the sales gloss.
For one or two people travelling light, King's Cross St Pancras and the rail network are usually quickest and cheapest. With luggage, after a flight, in a group, or late at night, a pre-booked fixed-fare car straight to the The Megaro door is the easier and often better-value choice.
A RushXO saloon runs from £61, fixed and confirmed in writing before you travel, with larger MPVs and minibuses available for groups. The run is roughly 22 mi and 48–80 min; unlike a meter or a surging app, the fixed fare does not change with traffic or the hour, and the driver tracks your flight.
Gatwick to The Megaro starts from £92 in a saloon, again fixed in writing, covering about 38 mi in 1.2–2.0 hr. Flight tracking, free waiting and meet-and-greet in arrivals are all included.
