King's Cross Central
Large mixed-use development in central London
About
King's Cross Central is a large urban mixed-use development in the north of central London. The site is owned and controlled by the King's Cross Central Limited Partnership (KCCLP). It consists of approximately 67 acres (27 ha) of former railway lands to the north of King's Cross and St Pancras mainline railway stations. The site is largely determined by three boundaries: the existing East Coast Main Line railway leading out of King's Cross; York Way, a road marking the division between Camden and Islington boroughs; and High Speed 1 (HS1), formerly known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, which curves around the site to the north and west.
The master planners for the development were Allies and Morrison, Porphyrios Associates, and Townshend Landscape Architects. The development was approved in 2006 and Related Argent was the main developer. In 2016, the government announced it had sold their investment in Kings Cross Central for £371 million. The final building of the masterplan was approved in the summer of 2023.
