Granary Square, Kings Cross Central
Granary Square forms a large multi-use public space and high quality regeneration benchmark to Kings Cross. The installation of a ground breaking water feature incorporating over 1,000 jets animates the space and attracts visitors from a far. Feature steps and bleachers open up views to the canal, whilst semi mature tree planting in a formal grove offer a protected space for stopping.
