King's Cross has become London's premier tech hub, anchored by Google's massive HQ and joined by giants like AstraZeneca and Universal Music Group. The transformation from its industrial past is a masterclass in urban renewal.

What makes this revival special is how it balances modern development with community spaces, preserving the area's unique character while attracting major corporations. It's a blueprint for how urban regeneration should work.
