Kings Place is a building in London’s Kings Cross area, providing music and visual arts venue with a range of facilities ideal for performance, exhibition and education combined with seven floors of office space. It opened in September 2008 and was designed by architects Dixon Jones and aimed to create an architecturally inspiring mixed-use development which would deliver a major new arts centre in Kings Cross and offer something to the local community.
