This is a "must visit" for every Potter fan staying in London! It did not disappoint! It's easy to find in Kings Cross. It was very busy on the day I visited but the merchandise was a pleasure to view (and buy!) I loved the score from the movie playing on the speakers. Best of all was the young friendly happy staff who served me! I actually felt like I was being served by Hogwarts students! They are a credit to your store, it really comes across as a magical place to work also!

Good selection of stores, and on certain days/hours good street food. Architecturally beautiful, especially in the courtyard, if you like modernist buildings.

Great variety of handmade items, we can easily spend hours browsing the stalls, this is easily our favourite activity in London. There is also a big food market in the courtyard next to the dock, so make sure to be hungry. When visiting Camden Market, don’t be tempted to browse any of the many ‘regular’ tourist shops leading up to the market: the shops in Camden Market sell way more unique and interesting things!

Sections of the London 2012 Olympic Rings that hung in St Pancras Railway Station during the Olympic Games created into cool seating in a small park.
Just opposite Camley Street Nature Park behind King’s Cross and St Pancras Stations, great for family and group photos and a little bit of iconic London history!

Lovely garden fire sitting watching the boats and the trains and the ducks and people go by. Exciting new architecture. Plenty of local for shops and restaurants. Tonnes going on nearby and with the canal nearby it's hard to fault this place.

Lovely venue tucked away from the hustle bustle of London. Perfect day out for anyone into their magic. We did the Christmas show that is two hours or so worth of magic shows. The acts were brilliant, charismatic and energetic, we loved it. You can also wander around the museum, which is a nice extra for those unto magic. There is a bar where you can chill, have a snack and see some closeup magic. All in all, fun day and worth every penny!

Lovely building. Staff were good even though they seemed stretched at times. We managed to find a table even though there were eight of us including a four year old. Food was excellent. Menu varied and comprehensive. I'm tempted to go back to try one of their breakfasts.
