King's Cross is one of the most central and oldest areas in London. Known as a disreputable area, it is today the most obvious example of the changes taking place in the city.
Now King's Cross has every chance to become one of the most cosmopolitan places in London, thanks to its geographical position (between Regent's Park, Bloomsbury and Islington districts) and the many tourist innovations. The most famous historical and cultural structures of this district are the St Pancras railway station and the British Library, considered the largest library in the world.
