Kings Cross Meeting Point Advice         


Author: Ian Jelf
Date: Apr 9, 2008 01:22

I need to arrange to meet a small group (<15) somewhere in the King's
Cross area in a few weeks' time. I normally arrange to do this at
exits from tube stations but with all the work going on in and around
King's Cross that seems a recipe for confusion to me!

Does anyone here have any suggestions where specifically I might choose
to meet them? (A "public area", where we wouldn't cause an obstruction
and wouldn't accused of being on railway property or similar; oh and
something easy for a stranger to spot!)

Thanks in advance.

There is a large statue in St Pancras called, I believe, "Meeting Point".

But it's useless as one. It's circuituous to get to and I'm pretty
certain it isn't signposted.

I'd suggest the west side of the KX concourse between the Travel
Centre and the end of platform 8, as it's not really a through route.

If you want to avoid railway property, the WHSmiths on the KX
concourse has big signs where it backs onto Euston Road. So "outside
KX by the WhSmiths sign" should be a followable instruction.

Eek!" You don't go there often if you think that!

Argyle Square? It's out of the way, and in the right direction. It's not
in immediate line of sight from the railway station, but it's down a
street which is.

The snooker club on Gray's Inn Road?

Housman's Bookshop, on Caledonian Road?

Ooh - the courtyard of the British Library?

Great. If Ian's late, they can buy some drugs and shag a hooker while
they're waiting.
