Info
King's Cross St. Pancras (formerly King's Cross) is a London Underground station on Euston Road in the Borough of Camden, Central London. It serves King's Cross and St Pancras main line stations in fare zone 1. It is an interchange between six Underground lines: Metropolitan/Circle/Hammersmith & City, Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria. As of 2017, it is the most used station on the network.The station opened in 1863 along with the Metropolitan line, later accommodating the Hammersmith & City and Circle connections, and was one of the first underground stations to open. It was reorganised in 1868, and the Northern and Piccadilly platforms opened in the early 20th century. During the 1930s and 1940s, the station was reorganised to cater for expanded traffic. The Victoria line connection opened in 1968. The 1987 King's Cross fire occurred in the station; it killed thirty one people and was the deadliest accident to occur on the underground, resulting in widespread safety improvements and changes throughout the network. The station was extensively rebuilt in the early 21st century to cater for Eurostar services moving to St Pancras, opening in 2009.
