Area Focus - King’s Cross & Bloomsbury
(menu)The multi-million pound transformation of central London’s scruffiest corner has begun. Karen Doyle finds a rejuvenated King’s Cross has much to offer the capital’s event organisers
King’s Cross has never been a destination in its own right. In fact, leaving – via the busy station – has usually been the only reason to go there at all. But the face of London’s most maligned district is about to change. From the ground, it might look like one giant building site, but it will soon be Europe’s busiest transport hub.
The catalyst for the regeneration is the opening of the new Eurostar terminal at St Pancras International. On 14 November 2007 the first train from Paris will arrive on a high-speed line that knocks nearly half an hour off the cross-Channel journey time.
And of course, with millions of pounds being poured in to its facilities and appearance, King’s Cross is becoming a more serious prospect for event organisers. There are exciting openings – such as the Wellcome Collection Conference Centre – and established venues are already experiencing an increase in demand.
Others are gearing up for an influx of international visitors. ‘Events in King’s Cross and Bloomsbury create such a buzz at the moment,’ says David Wolanski of catering company The Recipe. ‘It’s the hottest place to be right now because everyone wants to be close to the new gateway to Europe.’ It’s hoped that in time the distinctive gothic interior of St Pancras will enclose a ‘destination station’. So it’s goodbye to the usual depressing array of coffee stands and identikit pubs and hello to a smart brasserie, boutique shopping and a fresh food market – not to mention the longest Champagne bar in Europe. ‘We want to make railway travel chic again,’ says Ben Ruse of London & Continental Railways. ‘St Pancras will be a place to visit even if you’re not catching a train – a centre for hospitality and entertainment.’
But this is just the beginning of the makeover of an area once best known as the capital’s red light district. The 67 acres around King’s Cross will be transformed over the next 13 years into 4.9m sq ft of premium office space, and 495,000sq ft of shops.
High-profile companies are also endorsing King’s Cross’s potential, and the area is looking forward to some new arrivals. The Guardian will be moving its entire news operation to King’s Place in 2008. Project manager Luke Dodd says: ‘It’s a great development in an area which is undergoing major regeneration, where the transport links are second to none.’
More changes are afoot just down in the road in the more genteel Bloomsbury. The regeneration of the city’s intellectual quarter – partly a knock-on effect of the King’s Cross development – has been a much quieter affair. However, it means that this area – which has all the benefits of a West End location but none of the hustle and bustle – will also be drawing in more events business.
‘Bloomsbury has changed a great deal over the last few years to become an exciting and vibrant area in its own right,’ says Robert Girvan of the Congress Centre, a conference facility off Tottenham Court Road. ‘Gradually, the tourist hotels in the Russell Square area have been smartened up and new bars and restaurants have sprung up.’
With so much potential for hosting great events in these two very different areas, Square Meal has dedicated the following pages to showcasing the best of what’s on offer. Bloomsbury and King’s Cross cover a diverse section of London – from bustling Tottenham Court Road to edgy Mornington Crescent, via the buttoned-up formality of Gray’s Inn Road – and between them, they have something for everybody.
