- For other places with the same name, see Kings Cross (disambiguation).
Kings Cross is a well-known district of north central London. Its importance derives from the two main London railway stations located there - Kings Cross and St Pancras International (so close together, they are virtually one!) - and the fact that a large number of main roads converge at this point. Although more than a little run down in places, having some reputation for the seedier side of London life, Kings Cross is nonetheless going through the early stages of a major renewal cycle.
