Granary Square

Granary Square, Public square in Camden, London, United Kingdom

Granary Square is a public square in the London Borough of Camden, United Kingdom, part of the King's Cross Central development. It features a large open paved area with a fountain of 1,080 individually controlled jets that provide multi-colored illuminations, and it is home to Queer Britain, the UK's first and only museum devoted to the LGBT community.

Granary Square was developed as part of the King's Cross Central regeneration project, which began in the early 2000s. The square opened to the public in 2011, transforming a former industrial area into a public space.

The name Granary Square comes from the old granary that once stood nearby, and today the square is a hub for community events and public art. Queer Britain, located here, offers a space to learn about LGBT history and culture through exhibits and talks.

The square is easy to reach on foot from King's Cross and St Pancras stations, with step-free access across most of the area. Visitors can use the fountains interactively, but the ground can be slippery when the jets are running, so watch your step.

The fountain's 1,080 jets are individually controlled, allowing for patterns and games like Snake to be played on a large scale. Visitors can often join in and control the jets themselves through an interactive system.
