Kings Cross is an attractive, historic neighbourhood, subject to much recent investment and development. The area’s extensive regeneration means that some of London’s finest eateries and shopping precincts (at Coal Drops Yard and Granary Square) now nestle next to inviting stretches of towpath, beckoning walkers along the Regent’s Canal.

The area is a renowned cultural hub with comedy, literary inspiration and a hip, arty vibe. Kings Place, Central St Martin’s College, the British Library, the British Museum and the Wellcome Collection are all within easy reach of our apartment and well worth investigating.

If you love to explore on foot, ambling along the canal westwards towards the splendour of Regent’s Park and Little Venice is a must. The elegance and refinement of historic Fitzrovia is a short stroll away, whilst music lovers will enjoy the wealth of gig venues and the gritty uniqueness of nearby Camden to the north, an area synonymous with many icons of London’s musical history.

You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to amazing coffee and great places to eat and drink in and around Kings Cross. Caravan, Grain Store, Muriel’s, Pizza Union, Dishoom and Meat Liquor are all particular highlights.
