London King's Cross railway station
London King's Cross railway station, Grade I listed railway terminus in Kings Cross, England
The red brick Victorian railway station features two large arched train sheds and a prominent clock tower at its main entrance point.
Architect Lewis Cubitt designed this major railway terminus, which opened in 1852 as the London hub for the Great Northern Railway network.
The station gained worldwide recognition through Platform 9¾, where the Hogwarts Express departs in the Harry Potter literary series.
The station connects London with destinations across Yorkshire and Scotland through services operated by London North Eastern Railway and other carriers.
The 2012 renovation created a steel-and-glass concourse with a geometric latticed ceiling spanning 7,500 square meters of public space.
