Kings Cross Square Development

As well as looking at current or built projects it is also important to look into the future.


One forthcoming project is that to re-develop the front of Kings Cross Station. The new square will act as a new forecourt for the refurbished station and will allow users to appreciate the design of the building which will have it's frontage revealed for the first time since 1972.

Six companies have been shortlisted by Network Rail to design the square with the winner due to be announced in June.

The six companies are:
  • Field Operations
  • Gehl Architects and Landscape Projects
  • Gross.Max.
  • Gustafson Porter
  • Marther Schwartz Partners
  • Stanton Williams

This should be an interesting project to follow over the next few years.
