Welcome to another episode of my Summer 2023 walking tours in London. Today I am at the famous Kings Cross and St Pancras, known for the beautiful train stations and so much more. The new Coals Drop Yard is the amazing regeneration of the area, which holds some really exciting history!
Thanks for watching, let me know you enjoyed it with subscribing and also give it a thumbs up 👍🏻 💕💌

When I first moved to London in 1977 Kings Cross was an awful area, really sleazy, dirty and definitely not somewhere you’d want to hang around. I used the station regularly as I used to travel by train up to Hull to visit my parents. The area has now changed beyond recognition. Another great video Hannah! You’ve made me want to visit it. It’s not somewhere I’ve ever thought of going to on our trips to London. Will definitely check it out

We’ve never had a bad meal. The whole feel of the area is amazing. I’m old enough to remember how it used to be…. Certainly different now. Thank you again for another wonderful video x

I worked across the Euston Road in the Seventies and Eighties, before the British Library and its multiple basements were pile driven into existence. There was a potato market which became a coach park. My new wife and I, in 1981, caught a coach from there to Luton Airport to fly to Malta on our honeymoon. In 1985 we moved to Yorkshire and never returned, other than to visit. The transformation of the area is stunning! More so, because every time I visit something new appears.

OMG yet another great memory when you went past the Searcy's area and seating and showing the menu card for bubbly etc.!😄🥰 We had our Wedding Reception and buffet at Searcy's In Pavilion Road, just off Sloane Street, Knightsbridge! Almost 50 years ago on Saturday 15th September 1973!! This was after our wedding in the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Farm Street, London W1! In fact we are keeping our fingers crossed to have our 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary Celebration as a 'Sparkling Afternoon Tea' at The Devon Hotel on the edge of Exeter, Devon on Sunday afternoon 17th September with some 'old' friends and family - a few were at our wedding (including my Chief Bridesmaid who is a friend for many years from our childhood! )In fact your whole vlog is wonderful with all the history you incorporated in to it, along with pretty canals, locks etc. please keep them coming - like a happy hour on our sofas watching! 😂🤩🌹🌻💐🍾🥂🍰🥧Love and best wishes Christina and Nick, Crediton, Devon UK.

Hannah for years I commuted on High Speed 1 from Folkestone into St P. it was so interesting seeing the redevelopment of the area over those years. Just a few weeks back i was early for my train to Scotland from kings X and had my first walk around the area was very impressed. The hotel at St P I have stayed in a few times it really was rather lovely and has details of some of the history of the original hotel which was very interesting and rather romantic.

That's crazy to see Coal Drops Yard like this... me and my friends frequented Bagleys nightclub (long building in the centre) for all night raves in the 90's. I remember all those old buildings surrounding being derelict, and the shadows of the gas towers when we were walking down, and again when we were turned out at 7am. It felt like a proper sketchy place always, there weren't even any streetlights once in the yard, but despite that feeling - I never saw any trouble. Like many great clubs/raves which were run in old redundant buidlings during the 90's, now nearly all gone due to gentrification - sad to see they're gone but things change, and great memories remain. That said, it's nice to see they didn't just bulldoze this place and retained the history.
