The area of King’s Cross sits between Angel in Islington and Regents Park and is dissected by the Euston Road, one of the main routes entering London from the West.
The area has seen huge redevelopment in recent years, focused around the new Eurostar complex based at King’s Cross St Pancras station and King’s Cross tube station. Now one of the best-connected transport hubs in Europe, providing direct services to France and Belgium, it’s not surprising that the area attracts lots of ambitious new businesses looking to make their international mark.
The significant amounts of regeneration have also brought a massive influx of commercial tenants into the area, particularly science and technology companies. Indeed, one of the biggest companies in the world, Google, has plans to move into King’s Cross, which will undoubtedly cause the location’s prestige to skyrocket.
King’s Cross office rents start from £50.00 and can reach as high as £70.00 per square foot for the highest quality buildings, with business rates ranging from £18.00 to £23.00 per square foot. Taking service charges into account, an all-in cost for King’s Cross offices can be estimated at £76.50 to £109.00 per square foot.
The area is undoubtedly the transport capital of London. King’s Cross and St Pancras International contains an impressive five railway stations, with trains to mainland Europe via Eurostar, fast trains to Kent and the South East of England, long-distance trains to Scotland and the North East, and cross-London trains on Thameslink. While the Victoria, Northern, Circle, Piccadilly, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City tube lines are all easily accessible. King’s Cross and St Pancras are both in Zone 1 and an annual travelcard costs £1,284.
