Kings Cross
Major railway terminus
Kings Cross is a major railway terminus and district in central London, a transportation hub connecting northern England and Scotland to the capital.
The area has transformed from a seedy reputation in the late 20th century to a redeveloped neighborhood anchored by the station and its neighbor St Pancras.
In the Harry Potter series, Platform 9¾ at Kings Cross serves as the departure point for Hogwarts Express: Tourists pose with luggage trolleys embedded in the wall at Kings Cross.
Also spelled King's Cross.
