Gasholder No. 8 is the largest of the iconic gasholders that once dominated the skyline at King’s Cross. Originally built in 1883 for the storage of town gas, the intricate wrought-iron structure was painstakingly restored and moved from the opposite bank of the canal to its new home in 2014. Today the gasholder frames a canalside park with a lush circular lawn. A stunning mirror-polished steel colonnade by Bell Phillips Architects adds a contemporary counterpoint to the Victorian structure, reflecting light and views of the surroundings. This is the perfect spot to relax and watch the narrowboats at St Pancras Lock

Bagley Walk by Dan Pearson Studio
This elevated park is built on a railway viaduct and takes its name from the iconic King’s Cross nightclub, Bagleys, which now houses the independent department store Wolf & Badger. The park follows the curve of the canal and connects the Gasholder area with Coal Drops Yard and Granary Square. Low clipped hedges repeat the rhythm of the brick arches that support the viaduct. Between these hedges are seats, viewing areas and a rich palette of ornamental and edible plants that celebrate the seasons and provide a habitat for wildlife. Look out for liquorice, strawberries and fig
