One slightly confusing thing about Angel Station is that although you get to it from King's Cross St. Pancras Station by going southbound on the Northern Line, its entrance is actually very slightly north of the main entrance to King's Cross.

Angel Station has the longest escalator on the whole of the underground system. Ironically, you can't tell it's very long at all when you get on at the bottom, meaning people often get caught walking up in the 'fast lane' of the escalator for much longer than they expect.

The Angel is a convenient pub, just opposite, for meeting people.
