Kings Cross
King's Cross is an inner city district located 1.5 miles from Charing Cross, the area was previously known as Battle Bridge. Battle Bridge was an ancient crossing of the river fleet. There is no evidence to support this historical claim but the name Battle Bridge led to a tradition that this was the site of a major battle between the Romans and the Iceni Tribe.
These days the area has increasingly become home to cultural establishments. The London Canal museum opened in 1992, and in 1997 a new home for the British Library opened next to St Pancras Station. There was a small theatre, the Courtyard. However this had to close in late 2006 as a result of the gentrification of the area.The Gagosian Gallery moved their main London premises to the area in 2004.
The area is expected to remain a major focus of redevelopment through the first two decades of the 21st century. The London terminus of the Eurostar international rail service moved to St Pancras station in November 2007. The station's redevelopment led to the demolition of several buildings, including the Gasworks.Following the opening of the new high speed line to the station, redevelopment of the land between the two major stations and the old Kings Cross railway lands to the rear has commenced, with outline planning permission granted for the whole site. Detailed planning applicationsfor each part of the site] are being made on a rolling programme basis. The site is now called Kings Cross Central and is one of the largest construction projects in Greater London in the first quarter of the 21st century.
After World War II the area declined from being a poor but busy industrial and distribution services district to a partially abandoned post-industrial district. By the 1980s it developed a bad reputation, impeding attempts to revive the area, utilising the large amount of land available following the decline of the railway goods yard to the north of the station and the many other vacant premises in the area.
There are many bars and clubs located in Kings Cross and the area is well known for having a vast amount of London Escorts, often in massage parlours or waiting for your call to be invited to your Kings Cross Hotel.
Kings Cross is well established for the escort industry, it has become known that Kings Cross escorts offer an exceptional service.
The area has increasingly become home to cultural establishments. The London Canal opened in 1992, and in 1997 a new home for the British library opened next to St Pancras Station. There was a small theatre, the Courtyard. However this had to close in late 2006 as a result of the gentrification of the area caused by a number of regeneration projects here, in this case, Regent's Quarter,across the boundary in Islington.
King's Cross is now increasingly developing and is a hot spot for night life so ensure that you make this a place to visit on your travels, especially if you are in London and looking for an escort service.
