Kings Place is the calm cultural haven in which you find Chris Steele-Perkins photography, just one floor down in the very bright and airy belly of the building, but with its grandeur I can’t help but feel the exhibitions correlation has been a little lost.I choose to turn right and so follow the photographs in an anti-clockwise sequence, and sequence is precisely what I seem to be missing.

Today King’s Cross is very sunny, very sunny indeed, and so with this uplifting sort of weather I thought it was best to have a little wonder out of the office, right on down to the Gagosian Gallery, where right now they have dedicated their entire space to Picasso’s work ranging from the 1940’s – 60’s.It’s beautiful. I found myself smiling sublimely at odd paper cut outs of owls and a little

On a very hot and sunny Friday afternoon I walked down Euston Road to the Wellcome Collection because I had been dying to go and have a look at their intriguing new exhibition: Skin.They say themselves that skin is “the largest and probably most overlooked human organ” and yet it is what holds us all together, creates our identity and shows our age more vividly than anything else, all areas which

Anyone walking or cycling along the Regent's Canal last Sunday will have been surprised by some curious events, including the sound of horses' hooves under bridges, King's Cross development displays and a mustachioed man in a top hat telling passerby the history of ice cream in an outrageous Italian accent. All this activity was the product of 're:fresh Regent's Canal', part of the London

Bloomsbury below stairs - Grace Higgens at Charleston, 1920–1970This exhibition is a unique opportunity to see the famous Bloomsbury Group in a very different light. Grace Higgens- affectionately known as ‘the angel of Charleston’ was the cook and housekeeper at the group’s country escape in Sussex for over 35 years where she looked after the Bell family and other prominent members of the

This multi-artform exhibition intermingles artistic and scientific interpretations of sleeping and dreaming, and is a fascinating and informative insight into the world of these phenomena. One exhibit is a ‘sleep test’ where you are asked to look at a computer screen and click the mouse when you see numbers appear. The test works by calculating the time it takes you to respond to the on screen

If you haven't heard of Arrivals yet, where have you been hiding? It's a fantastic programme of events to celebrate the opening of St Pancras International and the new Eurostar terminal. There's a whole lot on the regular programme already - check out the Arrivals website - but the team are now looking for other great projects for the fringe programme: UNDERCOVER: The official Arrivals fringe

I recently went to the opening of the exhibition for King's Cross Charette, at NLA - New London Architecture. The exhibition was the culmination of a one-day design exercise for 20 young architectural practices, challenged by Argent to come up with an innovative design for a King's Cross Central site. They were given a wedge-shaped site adjoining the railway lines and given just seven hours to

On Saturday I went to Finsbury Town Hall to see a very interesting, and unique performance by a group of musicians collaborating with Christian Marclay.

The KX County Fair was lots of fun...on a day when the rain stayed away and the sun shone. I took my 21 year old cousin along, who was less interested unfortunately - although she was temporarily distracted by a delicious cream puff from the Chinese food stall. We were also both very impressed with the Coram Fields' goat, who was quite undisturbed by the variety of bands and MCs on the nearby

I took advantage of the flukey non-raining weather and walked up to Sadler's Wells on Wednesday to see The Car Man.

At the weekend I ventured up to the Cross Kings for a bit of light entertainment: A friend of a friend of a friend was playing a gig in this relaxed and intimate venue. I felt no guilt as I sipped on my 3rd (ok 4th) alcoholic beverage, knowing this was providing real support to a local independent King's Cross institution. While I was there I discovered that they hold a whole series of events,

Thank you so much, Lauren for your fantastic posts. After 2 weeks away from the 'hood, yours was a much more welcome back to King's Cross than my crammed in-tray. Once I've ploughed through my inbox I promise to post a much more interesting entry. But for now - thanks again Lauren; I hope you'll agree to come back for another KX visit sometime soon!
