King's Cross, one time considered a no-go zone, has transformed into a hipper alternative to prime central London
The once-derelict neighborhood has experienced a luxe makeover, with high demand and rising property pricesWhen Nicky Fuller moved to London in the early 1980s to study at London University, she lived in dorms in the King’s Cross neighborhood. It was something of a culture shock for the 17-year-old, who became accustomed to avoiding street sex workers and drug dealers in what was once London’s most notorious red-light district.
Some two decades later, Ms. Fuller returned to King’s Cross. From her warehouse apartment, she has had a front-row seat for the neighborhood’s $4.09 billion reinvention. A combination of cutting-edge architecture, upscale restaurants and stores, and hundreds of apartments on a meticulously planned, 67-acre industrial site at the heart of the neighborhood has turned a onetime no-go zone into a hipper alternative to Prime Central London.
