Regeneration along HS1
The regeneration story of HS1 is an impressive one, focusing on key strategic sites along the route. LCR and its subsidiaries, working with key business partners, are helping to design and construct Stratford City, a new metropolitan centre for east London.
St Pancras International and kings Cross Central
St Pancras International is also part of a much wider regeneration project that is transforming the King's Cross area. To the north of St Pancras International Station is the 27 hectare site of the King's Cross Central development site which will be transformed over the next five to ten years into a vibrant new business, residential and cultural district. To the east of King's Cross Station, the regeneration has already commenced at 'Regents Quarter', a £150 m redevelopment by P&O Developments of 70,000 sq m of homes, offices, shops, bars, and restaurants. Network Rail are proposing to refurbish and provide a new western concourse for King's Cross Station.
The Gas Holders
The gas holders that currently sit on the outskirts of St Pancras Station are to be deconstructed and relocated as part of the regeneration project. Plans have been developed to transform these grade one listed structures into frames that house apartments and play and park areas.
