    Gorgeous! I stumbled here after a hard day of exploring the City. I found the huge metal structure fascinating and couldn't stop staring. The surrounding water also has a calming effect.

    This place was amazing!!! I was visiting kings cross station and decided to take a stroll past granary square and found a beautiful park surrounded by architecture and the canal. We sat down and had a bite to eat and it was so relaxing because there's so much space on the grass, and on the marble right next to it. It's also intertwined with the other parts of kings cross, and allowed me to get around really easily using it as a relaxing place. The walk there is surrounded by flowers and it's a really beautiful place to experience. It's surrounded by bridges and boats with a large selection of resteraunts, go check it out!

    A small but super-cool park/space created out of an old Victorian gasholder and made into a small garden/park with stunning mirrored panels around it as a colonnade. Lived in London years but never stumbled on this until now. I loved it – it is a such a beautiful peaceful place to sit on a sunny day (there is shading over the seats). Inside is a grassy area to sit on.

    The environment was serene and beautiful. A good place for a picnic, to take a walk, walk your dog and to relax with friends. There are bars on sight also. Family friendly spot.

    Beautiful park. Small but cute, amazing on a summers day. I definitely wouldn’t want to go there if you want a quiet time- families with screaming children tend to ruin the atmosphere.

    Not particularly interesting apart from finally at the back of Kings Cross has been built out. Interesting if you are an architect and very modern

    Cute circular park in former gas holder next to Regents Canal, it’s not big but it’s peaceful.

    Pretty place but small - I don’t know why I thought it would be bigger, however, combined with a pleasant walk along the canal to Camden, was a lovely trip

    A small and tidy round green space situated by St Pancras Basin and among some apartment buildings. A great place to put on a little show.

    Smaller than I expected but is very clean and well maintained. Has a serene environment to it and has a lot of seating available. Fairly close to Coal Drop Yard and the stations so it's worth the visit if you're close by.

    A wonderful adaptation of Victorian industrial structure in a modern residential development. By Bell Phillips Architects.

  • 5/5 Darleen H. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a great use of a once industrial wasteland, a lovely slightly secluded spot great for chilling by the canal and watching trains pass by on the bridge. Can get very busy in summer with all sorts of people from families, local residents, couples, people on their lunch breaks etc. but the atmosphere is great (although sometimes a little too noisy) and there is plenty of grass space and benches. This park and the surrounding paths and planted areas are a great spot for getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life which is in full force down around the station.

    It is not a big park but such a beautiful historical place. The regeneration done so much good to this place. The architectural work here is absolutely amazing and so well thought out!

  • 5/5 Ronak P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice park for chilling with lots of benches around the side. Surprised to see that there weren't any random security guards so when we went for our picnic we got pretty lit up lol

  • 5/5 Katie 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice spot in less busy area of King's Cross development. Offer space for dogs to run and seats around.

  • 4/5 David C. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice small park to the back of the Kings Cross development where you can get a bit of rest and relaxation away from the bustle of the city.

  • 5/5 Murat T. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place. Go there with coffee/tea and read book. Calm and quiet place to chill

  • 5/5 Sanjay P. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and quaint place close to Kings Cross station. It's not exactly a park but a beautified gasholder with a grass mound in the middle and mirrors creatively placed along the perimeter. Seating space is available along the perimeter as well. The canal with the small boats and the St.Pancras lock nearby add that charm to this place. The surrounding gasholders have apartments built within and they blend in pretty well! It's a peaceful place away from the busy station nearby. The Camley Street natural park is closed for some modernisation and the Google office is a short walk from here.

    A beautiful oasis within easy walking distance of Kings Cross Station.

    Only came here because I saw the architectural model at The Building Centre. It’s a fantastic reminder that humans are creative and innovative beings. Who would’ve thought industrial gas holders could one day be the metal facade for a cool residential complex… it was awesome to walk around. Oh and there were ducks! There are markets nearby as well as Word on the Water (book barge). If you visit, definitely walk over!
