About King's Cross Station

King's Cross Station is one of the largest, busiest, and most iconic train stations in all of London with access to the railways and the tube (the British subway system). It is also right next door to St Pancras Station which is why you will sometimes hear the station referred to as King’s Cross St Pancras. Nearby the station, you’ll find tons to see and do, not to mention the shops and restaurants.

If you’re a Harry Potter fan, you have to check out Platform 9 and ¾. That’s right - King's Cross Station is where the Hogwarts Express left from London in the magical series. You might also check out the statues and monuments, both inside and outside the station, or have a cocktail while you wait for your train.

Although King's Cross Station’s main purpose is to welcome and send off trains and passengers, it’s also a lively place with plenty to explore, both in the station itself and just outside its walls.

A short walk outside Kings Cross Station, you can enjoy the history of the area on your way to the British Library, or take some time to relax in the area’s green spaces. The dancing fountains at Granary Square are always a treat and the Coal Drops Yard is a newer development with lots to see and do.

Whether it is your first time at the station or you’re a regular commuter, you’ll need somewhere to store your luggage. Bounce has easy-to-find luggage storage facilities for bags of any size all throughout the city. Make sure to seek out Bounce's left luggage service before you arrive. You’ll have a much more enjoyable time exploring London Kings Cross Station if you don’t have to drag around all your belongings.

• The British Library: the library has some incredible pieces on display including the Magna Carta and Jane Austen’s writing desk. The library does have an onsite cloakroom that will take bags up to carry-on-sized luggage. Please note the cloakroom is closed on Sundays, so make sure you check out Bounce’s Kings Cross luggage storage options.
• The IFO: A funky bird cage art installation.
• Granary Square: once a historic square where barges would unload their goods, this vibrant square now hosts a relaxing seating area surrounded by delicious restaurants and cafes.
• Coal Drops Yard: a fantastic shopping complex that is home to well-known brands and independent shops.
• Canopy Market: a delicious food market that is only open on Fridays and Saturdays. It is held under the West Handyside Canopy. The area under the canopy can be tight, so we would recommend using a left luggage storage service like Bounce.
• Charles Dickens Museum: is located within the Dickens’s London home. Take a tour of the family home and learn about Charles's fascinating works. Due to the home having small rooms, only small handbags and backpacks are allowed in the museum.
