13 spots to explore in King’s Cross
From awesome food to lovely parks, there are loads of great places worth visiting in KX.
King’s Cross is probably best known for its bustling train stations linking London to the rest of the country (as well as Europe via Eurostar), but over the last two decades, the area has completely transformed, with new restaurants, bars and pubs popping up (check out just how much King’s Cross has changed over the years here).
There’s plenty of other stuff going on here as well, with outstanding clubs, music venues and museums nearby, wild green spaces and a pretty stretch of Regent’s Canal, all of which make King’s Cross a great destination in its own right.
If you’re feeling cultured, pop to the famous British Library which has exhibitions and talks all year long. Shop, eat and drink in chichi Coal Drops Yard and wander over to the restaurants around Granary Square. We’ll also allow you to detour into King’s Cross station for your snap at Harry Potter’s Platform 9¾, too.
RECOMMENDED: London by area.
