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.
