Network Rail is about to start work on the final phase of the King’s Cross transformation to create a new public square, ready by late 2013.

The space currently occupied by the 1970s concourse will be demolished, revealing the Victorian Grade I listed station façade for the first time in more than 140 years.

Network Rail will soon start to close all facilities in the old southern concourse and complete their careful demolition in phases, aiming to ensure you can exit platforms 0-8 with minimum disruption.

From Saturday 1 to Wednesday 5 September, shops in the old southern concourse will close permanently.

From Monday 10 September, all other facilities in the southern concourse, including the ladies’ toilets, seating, cash machines, photo booth and left luggage will close.
