Gone are the days when the hinterland of Kings Cross was a seedy, dangerous area after dark – a no-go area if you were walking on your own.
Over the last decade the area has been transformed into a vibrant high-tech hub with Google, YouTube and Meta having their London offices located here. It can also boast of 2,000 new homes, 10 new parks (40%) of the land, 20 new streets, 400 mature trees, 23 new and refurbished buildings and a nature reserve. The area is best seen in the evening when the buildings are lit up and the bars and restaurants are busy and buzzy. However, despite all this modernity there are still remnants of the area’s industrial and carbon polluting past.
The area is also a transport hub – Kings Cross/St Pancras being served by 6 tube lines and 5 mainline railways (including Thameslink). It is the busiest interchange in the country, so wherever you are in London or the Southeast it’s easy to get to! The proposed walk will give you a glimpse of this new and exciting part of London. The cost of the walk is £5 per person. Please contact if you would like to come along.
