King’s Cross has had a make-over! Here’s the results of a £500m refurbishment of the station’s concourse.

As well as the fantastic lattice structure keeping the rain off commuters as they travel through the station, there’s also a host of new shops and eateries in the station itself. This is the first half of a redevelopment project, which should be completed in 2014.

Let us know what you think of the new King’s Cross in the comments below.
