Stories - King's Cross [Paperback] King's Cross

Urban and gritty...
King’s Cross is a significant part of Central London.
The on-going regeneration of its railway lands, some 67 acres, is restoring heritage buildings and creating 20 new streets and 10 new squares. It will provide 4.3 million square feet of new workspace, 500,000 square feet of shopping, cafes, bars and restaurants and 2,000 new homes.
But to think of King’s Cross in these terms is too simplistic – destinations are not determined by size alone but their ability to capture our hearts and minds.
Cities are made of stories and storeys.
King’s Cross draws on its history and its heritage, together with the social and urban fabric which surrounds it.
It is rich in colour and culturally diverse.
It is a well-managed estate, safe and secure, purposely inclusive, not exclusive.
These elements support and enhance King’s Cross, making it a destination to which people want to go, where they want to live and work. King’s Cross has a past, present and a future. The King’s Cross story is still being written. Every day brings a new chapter.
