The last decade has seen a huge turnaround to the area thanks to new investment, starting with the reopening of the historic St. Pancras hotel and train station.
Beware, however, that this area is still in development so it is a bit rough around the edges and some parts should be avoided after dark. Stick to well lit areas with people around when possible.
