Has Kings Cross been cleaned up?
Has Kings Cross been cleaned up? In the past few hundred years, the area has gone from being one of London's most important industrial hubs to a graveyard of derelict warehouses to a red-light district and a clubbing hotspot. More recently, it has been repurposed as a shiny new shopping and eating destination complete with a Waitrose wine bar.
Is Kings Cross London still a red light district?
King's Cross: Culture, cuisine and clubbing in a former red light zone. The Cinderella-like transformation of King's Cross from notorious red light district in the 1990s to established cultural capital seems unlikely to anyone old enough to remember the bad old days.
How long is the walk between Kings Cross and St Pancras?
Less than 5 mins, even if you walk really. really. slowly. St Pancras is literally over the other side of the street from Kings Cross, and they are so close they share the same tube station.
