The airspace here would seem to be reasonably "high value".


At the moment, it's got a rubbish bar on top of it; it wouldn't
seem to be particularly high-value just yet. Doubtless, as King's
Cross becomes more desirable, it will.


It's a bit (metaphorically) low-rent around there at the moment. One
of the cheapest Travelodges overlooks the station. And much of the
rest of the area is alleyways and the backs of Victorian terraces.


A little bit north of there, and a bit west too is the lovely shiny
King's Place development - see http://www.kingsplace.co.uk for details.
Gallery, concert hall, bar and cafe overlooking the canal basin.
