About Kings Cross
Kings Cross has not always been considered a desirable area to visit but with the recent renovation of one of London’s most important train stations, St Pancras Station, the area is now on the up. For many people visiting London, Kings Cross Station and St Pancras Station will be the first places they see. Now, rather than jumping on a tube into the centre of town it’s just as enjoyable to stay and wander around the beautifully restored St Pancras station, which is full of shops, cafés and even a champagne bar overlooking the Eurostar.
If you’ve craving a bit of culture then it’s just a short walk to the British Library which houses over 25 million books as well as various historical documents. Or for something a little more light hearted try and find platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross station which was famously created by J.K Rowling in her Harry Potter Series.
Train delayed? Head to Camino’s, a little Spanish bar only metres from the Station for a glass of rioja and a plate of tapas.
Kings Cross Scene
Kings Cross area provides a healthy mix of both cultural entertainment and thriving nightlife. By day people flock to the famous British Library or the unique exhibitions at the Wellcome Collection, whilst at night some of London’s most popular clubs, including Egg and the Big Chill House are found here making this a popular area for music and clubbing.
