It is the former Parcel Yard of Kings Cross Station. It is good not just when you are waiting for friends or the departure of your train, but one can have in one of the "offices" a coffee in the morning, in the "waiting room" lunch and much more. Open all day. Very nice how they kept the atmosphere of an old office and converted it into a coffeebar/pub/restaurant. Very relaxed.

One cant describe the Skip garden in one word. It is a garden, a great pizza oven and there is also a good vegetarian restaurant with all the salads and herbs from the garden. Next to it is the pond where you can swim in the middle of the town. A project of the Global Generation with the aim to bring nature closer to the city. Very joyful.
