King's Cross is no longer a neighborhood of questionable morals. Since the mid 1990s, the area has been enhanced with new restaurants, hotels, and cultural venues. Besides, there is no Harry Potter tour without a stop at "Platform 93⁄4" at King's Cross Station.

Attractions close to King's Cross include Camden Town Hall, The British Library, Camley Street Natural Park, London Canal Museum and St. Pancras Old Church.
