“Word on the Water is a bookshop situated on a barge that normally resides on Regent's Canal in the King's Cross area at Granary Square, London, although it has historically been based at other points along the London canal network. It has appeared in numerous publication's lists of the best bookshops in the UK including The Washington Post and The Guardian. The bookshop's home is a Dutch canal boat called Dianti dating back to the 1920s. As well as working as a bookshop, it regularly acts as a venue, hosting live music and poetry events.” (Word on the Water, Wikipedia)
“This indoor-outdoor venue has three bars set over two floors, as well as a beautiful canal-side beer garden. The outdoor space has been created with Richard Wilford, head of garden design at Royal Botanic Garden in Kew, and is bursting with cheerful florals designed to be a pollinator haven. The space is covered and heated for use all year round.” (The Gas Station, King's Cross)
“Kings Place is a building in London’s Kings Cross area, providing music and visual arts venues combined with seven floors of office space.
