About King'S Cross
London's new creative quarter. Home to inspiring businesses, great shops, destination restaurants and a vibrant cultural scene.
King'S Cross Description
King’s Cross is London's new creative quarter, home to 67 acres of inspiring businesses and outstanding architecture, destination restaurants and a vibrant cultural scene. 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 fountains as a heart.
Already known as a foodie hotspot, King’s Cross is now establishing itself as a retail destination. Nike, 18Montrose and Waitrose are already open, with more retailers to be announced at Stable Street and King’s Boulevard in 2017. The retail vision will complete in late 2018 when Coal Drops Yard, London’s newest shopping street, opens in a pair of redesigned Victorian coal buildings, creating 100, 000 sq ft of boutiques, shops, bars and restaurants in the centre of King's Cross.
