London Kings Cross Station photographs

Each time I visit London work is going to improve things.London Kings Cross has had many make overs, work still goes on with a major renovation project, Sadly some changes have not pleased some local like removal The platform 8 clock, mounted on the footbridge. I read the clock and footbridge was sent into storage in Cambridge because no one wanted it.


Maybe it could be used here in Oakham to replace the ugly railway bridge in town, I don't think I will receive any violent threats for calling the bridge ugly?


The old footbridge is to be replaced with a modern glass construction with lifts.

Kings Cross Station Concourse decorated with a Christmas tree.


mobile phone snaps,

New retail units are opening this is the relocated Burger King, W H Smiith's has shrunk and Boots has gone.


Harry Potters Platform 9 3/4 has moved again, this time the wall is fake but this does not stop the tourists gathering to take photographs.

The platform actually used for filming at King's Cross Station in the movies is Platform 4. Hagrid and Harry are also filmed walking over the pedestrian bridge across the tracks.



 One of the new entrances to Kings Cross Underground Station, this area used to be an area used by London Cab drivers for refreshments and servicing of cabs. Most of the small dark cobbled streets often used as film locations in the past have now gone. A few old buildings remain.
