Kings Cross

Good for a canal bookbarge, a listening bar and Coal Drops Yard.

Ten years ago you changed trains here and left. Now Spiritland plays records through a sound system worth the detour, Word on the Water sells books off a barge on the canal, and Coal Drops Yard handles the shopping. Roti King still has a queue down the stairs and is still worth joining it.
