The area

Why King's Cross?

King's Cross has spent the last decade turning into one of London's most useful addresses - equally at home with a business trip, a relocation, or a longer stay. Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard sit on the doorstep, and the surrounding streets have become a hub for technology and business more generally, alongside the area's long-standing rail connections.

The cream stucco corner of Golden Britannia, with round-arched ground-floor windows

Since 1792

Before it was apartments, this corner was a pub. The Golden Lion opened here in 1792, was rebuilt in 1848, and kept one landlord, Phineas Lewis, from 1910 until 1955. The pub has gone. The cream stucco and the round-arched windows stayed, the lion lent its gold to the name, and behind them is Golden Britannia: one, two and three-bedroom apartments at one of London's best-connected corners.
