The new Western Concourse at Kings Cross was officially opened by Boris Johnson, Mayor of London and The Rt Hon Justine Greening, Secretary of State for Transport, and opened to the public on Monday 19th March 2012. The £500 million transformation of King's Cross station represents a compelling piece of place-making for London. The show-piece is clearly the Western Concourse, Europes largest single span station structure and the heart of the development, but the overall project is far more complex: an extraordinary, collaborative effort that has delivered an internationally significant transport interchange, fit for the 21st century and beyond.
