King’s Cross is one of the largest regeneration projects in London. Work started back in 2007 and a lot has happened since then, but there’s still a way to go. We work very hard to be a good neighbour, to maintain access to as much of the site as possible, and to limit disruption and inconvenience.

For news about ongoing and upcoming projects, read the latest edition of Construction News. Below is a listing of construction notices.
