So I looked up the fares: and Cambridge North to Kings Cross return is 
£61, and to London Terminals is err.. £61, so I don't see any point in 
going to the extra effort of restricting one's choice by saving zero.

For the greatest flexibility (it includes stations past St Pancras all 
the way to London Bridge or Elephant and Castle) pick London Thameslink 
[code 4452 for the increasingly rare OJPs which accept them], which is 
£63.

The short-code for London Terminals is 1072, and London Kings Cross 
6121.
