Gasholders

in London

Where is the new complex situated?

Nestled in central London, Gasholders resides in King’s Cross, a district lying within the borough of Camden, which is best known for its namesake railway station. The area is one of the largest redevelopment projects in London that has transformed an industrial wasteland into a vibrant area with an abundance of amenities, including shopping, dining, leisure, and cultural facilities as well as schools, and even a university, making it a perfect place to live in.

The new residential complex is placed right next to Granary Square, a huge city plaza that attracts people with its fascinating fountains. There is also Gasholder Park, a cosy waterside space right on the doorstep of Gasholders. Another green retreat within touching distance of the new complex is Lewis Cubitt Park, a grassy area perfect for some training or recharging sessions. For a unique atmosphere steeped in history, you can cross the Regent’s Canal and explore Saint Pancras Gardens, lush public gardens surrounding an Anglican church.

Living at King’s Cross comes with unparalleled international, national, and local transport connections. Eurostar services allow you to reach mainland Europe in less than 2 hours. In addition, the Grade I listed King’s Cross station provides easy access to all parts of the United Kingdom as well as all cultural, business, and shopping hotspots in London such as Bloomsbury, the City, Bond Street, and Canary Wharf.

What are the architectural features of Gasholders?

The new residential complex boasts a unique architecture, comprising 3 historic gasholders that were built in 1867. The Grade II listed, cast-iron structures have been transformed into exquisite contemporary-style buildings, connected by a courtyard at the centre. Gasholders feature extensive glazing that adds some modernity to the exterior. In addition, the circular structures are enveloped by a white grid that reminds of classical pillars with a bit of industrial flair. The main entrance with a cantilevered canopy and a massive glass door faces Lewis Cubitt Square.
