Location
Kings Place sits on the east side of York Way, just 150 metres from King’s Cross/St Pancras train stations. King’s Cross is now the biggest transport hub in Europe. On its eastern side the building overlooks Battlebridge Basin on the Regent's Canal which is also home to many residential boats and the London Canal Museum on the opposite side of the water.
In late 2008 the building became the home for The Guardian and The Observer newspapers. Two orchestras, the London Sinfonietta and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, also reside within Kings Place and regularly perform there. Central St Martins, one of the art colleges within the University of the Arts London, brought a major visual arts community into the area from mid-2011, when it moved into Argent’s 67-acre (270,000 m2) King’s Cross central development.
