What you need to know about Kings Cross

Kings Cross

Located just 4.8 km north-west of Charing Cross, the district of Kings Cross in Central London comprises an area whose boundaries fall within the London Boroughs of Camden and Islington. After a period of post-war decline that peaked towards the end of the 20th century, the district became the target of development efforts, with the area north of Kings Cross and St. Pancras railway stations eventually becoming the site of Kings Cross Central (KXC). Well-known attractions within the district include the British Library, Camley Street Natural Park, and the British Postal Museum and Archive, while Coal Drops Yard serves as one of its busiest shopping hubs outside the developments around its train stations. Kings Cross functions as a major transport interchange and boasts an extensive array of transport links, which include the Kings Cross and St Pancras International railway stations and the Kings Cross St Pancras underground station. The district is also served by numerous bus routes and coach lines, and encourages the use of bicycles for both commuting and recreation with its multiple cycle routes.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Kings Cross

Most addresses in Kings Cross will find that Hornsey Street Waste & Recycling Centre, which is under the jurisdiction of Islington Council, is the nearest reuse and recycling centre (RRC) in the area. The site is open from 9 AM to 4 PM daily, including weekends and public holidays, and accepts most forms of household waste and recycling. Cement-bonded asbestos can also be disposed of at the civic amenity site, but calling ahead is required, as staff will need to know how much is being brought and check whether or not their container has enough room. Unwanted possessions, such as household items, old furniture, and bicycles that are suitable for reuse will be forwarded to the appropriate charities for either refurbishment or redistribution.

What rubbish collection services are available in Kings Cross?

Collection services for households and businesses in Kings Cross are available either as part of its local authority’s public services or through the multiple private contractors operating in the district. While the most basic options are typically limited to the removal of rubbish or recycling from their respective containers by the roadside, the more specialised services, such as home or office clearance, usually go well beyond that and also include all the work that comes before and after rubbish collection, such as separating recycling from refuse and post clear up. Most waste management companies operate throughout the entire week, even outside regular working hours, and can send a team out to the property within the day, while the most professional contractors guarantee at least a 90% recycling rate to minimise the impact of waste disposal on the environment.
