King's Cross

King's Cross

Overview

Exploring around an area of recent redevelopment.

In the last few years, the area once known as Battle Bridge has been transformed from a run down red light district in to an international commercial hub, whilst a derelict Victorian station and industrial site is now home to a prestigious art school and a host of bars, restaurants and a hive of cultural activity next to the Regent’s canal. We’ll be exploring this new development and the canal (which recently celebrated its 100th birthday) plus visiting one of the oldest Christian sites in Europe and a train station that was saved from demolition and later part of an £800 million development to become, amongst other things, the Eurostar Terminal in London.
