My favorite London
My favorite place to stay is Kings Cross part of the Camden
borough. It is within walking distance of the West End and has
Bloomsbury and Clerkenwell to the south and Camden and Islington to the
north.
History of
Kings Cross
In the 1970s King's Cross is a notorious district of drugs and
prostitution. Even now, It is still crowded, noisy and a bit dirty with
endless
construction work.

Cross?

Regent's Canal, Regent's Park and Hampstead Heath which is about a 15-
25 minute drive away.
