i booked train tickets which include going through london (kings cross-waterloo) but do my train tickets actually include this bit of the journey? because on them it says *tube. so am i going to have to buy tube tickets when i get to kings cross?
and also, are there any overground trains that go between kings cross and waterloo?

If your ticket allows such interchange travel, then it is valid for travel on London Underground between any pair of the following list of stations as a transfer across London:
Amersham
Farringdon
Queen's Park
Baker Street
Finsbury Park
Richmond
Balham
Greenford
Seven Sisters
Bank
Gunnersbury
South Ruislip
Barking
Highbury & Islington
Stratford
Blackfriars
Kensington Olympia
Tottenham Hale
Blackhorse Road
Kentish Town
Tower Hill
Brixton
King's Cross St. Pancras
Upminster
Cannon Street
Liverpool Street
Vauxhall
Charing Cross
London Bridge
Victoria
Ealing
Broadway
Marylebone
Walthamstow (Central)
Edgware Road
Moorgate
Waterloo
Elephant & Castle
New Cross
West Ham
Embankment
New Cross Gate
West Ruislip
Euston
Old Street
Wimbledon
Euston Square
Paddington
Thameslink services may also be used for the transfer. You are not allowed to leave the Underground system at any point during the transfer (except as part of a valid interchange, as at Hammersmith).
It is worth noting that the journey between London Bridge and Waterloo East is by South Eastern and therefore a Cross London connection as suggested by little_one is NOTvalid. And you would be charged the fare between London Bridge and Waterloo which is £1.30.
Sorry if this is complex, but in essence its london underground or nothing. I'll re-explain if needs be.
I'd get the tube to waterloo which will take you about 15 min max and be much less hastle - for the thames link option i'd leave at least an hour between your 2 trains and cross your fingers fervarently.
However if you really aginst getting on the tube - there aren't ticket barriers at waterloo east and you dont' need to show your ticket to change platforms at london bridge so i wouldnt' bother buying a ticket and feign ignorance and an understandable tube phobia if you come across any ticket barrier men.
so, i wont have to pay for a tube ticket then, as it's included in my train ticket? and do i just show the guys at the barrier my train ticket? as i'm not going to be able to use the machines with my train ticket am i?
The recommended connection time between leaving Kings X and departing Waterloo should be at least 55 minutes to cover getting on the underground, travelling, leaving the underground and boarding your departing train.
ive made kings cross to euston, on foot in 7 mins from getting off the train to kings cross, to getting to euston, and then probly another 2 mins running through the station, and literally jumped on the train to hemel hempstead, and the doors shut
all because i knew it would take longer to go down the steps, into the underground, and then that assumes i get a tube straight away, then theres the get up the steps at the other end
im so glad im fit and wasnt carrying anything too heavy, i almost killed myself that day, was terribly sunny, didnt help that my train into kings-x was delayed by half an hour, giving the mere 10 minutes i thought was impossible
so i reckon i could, if stupid enough make waterloo in around 35 mins on foot
