The opening of the concourse somehow speeds the ticking clock to reveal the station’s original façade. So some renewed interest in it this week: here it is above, as part of a London alphabet on the delightful Spitalfields Life blog.
And a fascinating post on the original King’s Cross station – Maiden Lane at Ian Visits.

Have you seen Christopher Brown’s An Alphabet of London? Some very nice linocuts of Kings Cross station for some reason on the “X” page.
Thanks. Yes, seen news of the book, it’s exquisite, but don’t own it yet so haven’t seen letter ‘x’. Even more tempted now…
I believe this is on sale at the new Watermark book shop inside the new concourse…
