Outdoor but sheltered; design-forward, buzzing vibe. History is in the fabric of King’s Cross and is a big part of what makes it a special place

Tell us your story/detailed overview

King’s Cross has a rich and colourful past. Its location at the meeting point of road, river and rail has shaped its history. This can be seen today in the old buildings, the layout of the streets, and in the stories of the communities based here. King’s Cross is one of the largest and most successful redevelopments in London. Over the past 20 years, what was an underused industrial site has been transformed and rejuvenated with new streets, squares and parks, homes, shops, offices, galleries, bars, restaurants, schools, and even a university. The location, the connections, the canal-side setting, the heritage, an exciting cultural scene, a thriving business community, and a strong sense of local community. All these things come together at King’s Cross to make it unique and really quite special. But this wasn’t always the case.
