The south part of Kings Cross seems to go through up and down cycles faster than the rest of the area. It suffered from the change of footfall when the old Thames Link station closed.  But I am picking up reports of a new pub/bar on the corner of Brittania Street – the Kings Cross Social Club you can check out this review from a Stoke Newington website (where the owners hail from – I borrowed their photo) and a Facebook group.  There is a launch party tomorrow (Wednesday) will check it out soon and see if the owners can make an offer to locals.
