Deeper and deeper we dived headfirst into London’s underground network. With a list of many we narrowed our choices and planned our next attack, operation Kings Cross was a go. Ok, so this particular abandoned station is no more then 10 meters underground and half of it sits outside without a roof, but it still counts!

The Metropolitan/Circle line station of Kings Cross opened in 1863, also serving the City service trains more recently known as the Thameslink. The platform closed in 1941 after becoming redundant when a newer Metropolitan station was built to provide a easier interchange with the deep level stations and the Kings Cross mainline services.

A step up from Mark Lane, Kings Cross at least looked like a typical station. Two platforms, stairs and passageways to the original station building and main line services with a small glimpse of the also disused Thameslink platform. The downside, lights, lots and lots of lights. Photons and lens flare generators fired off in every direction like the Enterprise’s bridge in the new Star Trek film. Flare was an unavoidable and HDR is NEVER an option, but we did our best.
