The area

Coal Drops Yard, Granary Square fountains and six rail lines under one roof. A fully rebuilt district that still surprises people who knew the old King's Cross.

Working for residents

  • Best-connected postcode in the UK: six Underground lines plus national rail and Eurostar
  • Coal Drops Yard, Waitrose flagship and canal-side food halls
  • New-build stock means lifts, insulation and working boilers

Worth knowing

  • Feels corporate after 9pm in parts of the estate
  • Tourist footfall around the stations never really stops
