A Photographic Tour of London’s King Cross in 1990 by Peter Marshall

In 1990, Kings Cross was an area in London that was undergoing significant redevelopment. The area had a history of being a major transportation hub, with the iconic Kings Cross railway station and the adjacent St Pancras International railway station located there. The area also had a reputation for being a bit run-down and seedy, with a high crime rate and a prevalent sex trade.

However, by 1990, efforts were underway to revitalize the area and make it a more attractive place to live, work, and visit. The British Railways Board had begun a major redevelopment of Kings Cross railway station, which included the construction of a new concourse and the restoration of the historic train sheds. The area around the station was also being transformed, with new office buildings, shops, and residential developments being built.

In addition to the redevelopment of the railway station, there were also plans to build a new shopping and leisure complex called “The Regent Quarter” in the area, which would include a multiplex cinema, a bowling alley, and a variety of shops and restaurants.

However, despite the redevelopment efforts, Kings Cross in 1990 was still a largely gritty and run-down area, with a high crime rate and many vacant or derelict buildings. It was also a diverse and multicultural community, with a large population of immigrants and a vibrant nightlife scene.
