新建的“国王十字广场”为大众展现了一系列振奋人心的都市化挑战方式。一方面，该广场在被人们忽视了几十年后的今天，通过一套崭新的城市规划和运输规划方案，再次成功地成为该市中心的焦点，从忽视怠慢到万众瞩目，显然，设计团队在该广场的设计中可是花费了一番功夫的。另一方面，该广场是国王十字或圣潘克拉斯火车站地区交通交汇处的关键部位，广场所处位置的地下区域是伦敦地下构筑物群，这些构筑物的主要结构虽在地下，但在地面上也可以看到它们，它们在地面的部分通常是入口楼梯，一些技术装备或者通风井。广场本身也可作为一个客运廊的角色，国王十字车站的人们可通过广场到达他们的目的地。该广场为人们提供了聚会的空间，疲惫的人们也可坐在树荫底下的座位区休息，这样休息区共有两个。该广场地面用深浅两色的大理石铺砌，在视觉上将广场与Cubitt1852车站正面相连，该车站正方也是第一次完全出现在大众视野中。

The creation of the new King’s Cross Square presents a series of exciting urban challenges. On the one hand the Square forms a focal point at the heart of a district which, following decades of neglect, is currently being injected with a new energy through a range of major urban and transport projects. There is therefore a unique opportunity to transform this neglected site into a new public space.On the other hand the space also functions as a vital part of the major transport interchange at King’s Cross/St Pancras.Beneath the Square is a complex of London Underground structures which manifest themselves at ground level as entrance stairs, technical equipment and vent shafts. The square itself is also effectively required to act as an arrivals concourse area for King’s Cross station.The new Square provides an orientation and meeting space and two tree shaded sitting areas. The landscaping expresses the space in bands of dark and light granite that visually link the square to Cubitt’s 1852 station facade now fully revealed for the first time.
