King鈥檚 Cross Square officially opened yesterday, marking the completion of the 拢550m development of King鈥檚 Cross station
Designed by architects Stanton Williams, the new 75,000 sq ft square is the final part of the redevelopment of King鈥檚 Cross station and follows the renovation of the original station building and its platforms and the construction of the new western concourse, which opened to passengers in March 2012.
The demolition of the 1970s concourse and the creation of King鈥檚 Cross Square in its place means the Grade 1 listed station鈥檚 full historic fa莽ade can be seen for the first time for 150 years.
Early morning commuters were welcomed to the new square by Victorian-themed 鈥榣iving statues鈥� who entertained people in the space, giving a nod to the station鈥檚 heritage in what is London鈥檚 newest public open space.
