King’s Cross
No area in North London benefited more from the Olympic games than this crucial commuter hub. The once tawdry Kings Cross Station has a new face and a modern aura while St Pancras is as glorious a station as you’ll find in Europe. Once London’s seediest spot the KC is now full of rakish bars and clubs with excellent live music and some tasty eats up Caledonian Road.
