About King’s Cross
King’s Cross is London's creative neighbourhood. It comprises 67 acres of inspiring businesses, outstanding architecture, destination retail and dining and a vibrant cultural scene.
The area’s industrial past has inspired the 50 new and repurposed buildings, including Coal Drops Yard, the iconic Gasholders London and the Granary Building. The estate also includes 27 acres of public space, ranging from parks, streets, squares and gardens, with Granary Square and its iconic fountains at its heart.
The regeneration of the King’s Cross estate is now almost complete, with 41,000 people living, working and studying in the neighbourhood. It is a hub for creative and innovative businesses in London, with 4.25m sq. ft. of office space and capacity for 30,000 workers. It is home to start-ups, SMEs and world-renowned brands such as Meta, Google, Havas, Universal Music and AstraZeneca. Boasting 500,000 sq. ft. of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars, King’s Cross is also alive with the capital’s best places to eat, drink and shop, welcoming over 19 million visitors each year.
The King’s Cross estate was certified carbon neutral in 2021 and is committed to reaching net zero carbon by 2035.
Delegates are invited to come and see the King’s Cross estate firsthand as it nears completion after almost 25 years on-site. Two/three guided tours will be hosted by members of the Related Argent team, starting at the to-scale model now found in Coal Drops Yard. Highlights include a close-up look of the new Google HQ on King’s Boulevard; a walk through Granary Square and some of the new pieces of public realm coming forward this year; a trip to the district Energy Centre and a wander through Parkside and Coal Drops Yard, the estate’s ever-evolving retail destinations.
