King's Cross

King's Cross Explore the canal side setting, outdoor dining spots, independent shops & markets ⬇️

King’s Cross is home to 67 acres of inspiring businesses, outstanding architecture, destination restaurants and a vibrant cultural scene. It is London's creative neighbourhood and a lively place in central London to visit day and night. The area’s industrial past has inspired the 50 new and repurposed buildings; the public spaces between them are a mix of parks, streets, squares, and gardens, with

Granary Square and its iconic fountains as a heart. Already known as a foodie hotspot, King’s Cross is now established as a shopping destination. The retail vision has recently been completed with the opening of the Heatherwick Studio designed Coal Drops Yard, London’s newest shopping street. The district opened in a pair of reimagined Victorian coal buildings, creating 100,000 sq ft of shops, bars and restaurants in the centre of King's Cross.
