London King's Cross, London, England (UK), 2014

London King's Cross, London, England (UK), 2014
Next door to St. Pancras, you can also see the newly-restored London King's Cross station. You can see that the brickwork looks cleaner than it has in a long time, but if you look again, you'll notice that this is the first time since 1863 that the original frontage of the station has been visible (although that canopy is new). In 1863, a series of kiosks were added to the front of the station, serving as newstands, shops, and so on. The kiosk removal in 2013 freed up so much space in front of the station that the area was renamed "King's Cross Square." Incidentally, you can see the old Great Northern Hotel over on the left, behind the CCTV mast. It's called the Great Northern because it was originally the Great Northern Railway that opened King's Cross in 1853.
