Look out over the capital from your new home at urbanest Kings Cross, tucked behind arty Central St Martins and a stone’s throw from Granary Square with its array of classy eating. You’ll be spoilt for choice locally with The British Museum and British Library just minutes away and a blossoming social scene. The area may be dominated by the impressive twin stations of Kings Cross and St Pancras but no need to get on a train for a change of scene. Moments away is the city’s academic heartland of leafy Bloomsbury, or for a shot of grungy energy, head north to the markets and rock pubs of Camden.

Incredible transport links and proximity to many of London’s top universities make urbanest Kings Cross a great base for people coming to the city to study. UCL, UAL, Birkbeck, SOAS, City, and Westminster among others each have campuses nearby. You’re just 10 minutes walk from the station, a major interchange for the London Underground, trains heading north of the capital or to Europe.

urbanest Kings Cross mirrors the luxury of the new developments in the area. Ultra-modern in design with clean lines and lots of light, the high-spec apartments and studios have underfloor heating and 50MB WiFi broadband throughout.

Hit the books at your desk or for a change of scene, use on of the private study rooms. If you’re taking a break from the books, check out the events at King’s Place theatre, or grab a coffee on Granary Square.

You might spend an evening seeing bands at The Lexington or Scala, or hang out in one of the communal areas to play table tennis, lounge on the comfy sofas and enjoy the fantastic panoramic views over London.

The local bar scene varies from the charming Simmons, to the funky Big Chill House. Find every kind of cuisine from Ethiopian, to tapas, to the eclectic fare of Caravan or the vegetable-focused Grain Store.

Rent one of the free-to-use bikes for a cycle down the nearby canal, or store your wheels in the lock-up.

The in-house café and deli mean that even with all the options on your doorstep, you never have to venture far for your comforts.
