Gasholder Park London N1C 4AB
About the Business
Welcome to Gasholder Park, a one-of-a-kind establishment located in the heart of London's Kings Cross neighborhood. Our park is a testament to the city's quest for innovative and sustainable urban design, featuring an awe-inspiring architectural masterpiece that has become a point of interest and tourist attraction for visitors from all corners of the globe.
Originally built in the 1850s, the cylindrical gasholders found on the site were once used to store the gas used for heating and cooking throughout the city. However, as advances were made in gas technology, these gasholders became obsolete and were eventually decommissioned in the 20th century.
We, at Gasholder Park, saw an opportunity to bring new life to this iconic structure, and after extensive renovation and redevelopment, we have transformed the gasholders into a breathtaking open park space, drawing inspiration from the rich industrial heritage of the area.
The park spans across a 2.3-hectare area and features a variety of public spaces, including landscaped gardens, water features, play areas for children, and much more. Visitors can enjoy a stroll along the canal or relax in one of the many seating areas, taking in the serene atmosphere of the park.
In addition to our stunning green spaces, Gasholder Park also boasts a wealth of cultural and recreational activities. Regular events include outdoor theatre productions, live music performances, food markets, and art exhibitions. All these events and activities provide a perfect opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in the vibrant cultural life of London.
Gasholder Park is not just a park; it is a symbol of creativity, sustainability, and innovation. With its unique blend of history and contemporary design, it is truly a must-visit attraction for anyone looking to explore the eclectic and dynamic city of London. So, come and experience Gasholder Park for yourself – a place where nature, art, and community come together in perfect harmony.

"Gorgeous! I stumbled here after a hard day of exploring the City. I found the huge metal structure fascinating and couldn't stop staring. The surrounding water also has a calming effect."
"Pleased place, nice area, clean and very cosy!"
"This place was amazing!!! I was visiting kings cross station and decided to take a stroll past granary square and found a beautiful park surrounded by architecture and the canal. We sat down and had a bite to eat and it was so relaxing because there's so much space on the grass, and on the marble right next to it. It's also intertwined with the other parts of kings cross, and allowed me to get around really easily using it as a relaxing place. The walk there is surrounded by flowers and it's a really beautiful place to experience. It's surrounded by bridges and boats with a large selection of resteraunts, go check it out!"
"A small but super-cool park/space created out of an old Victorian gasholder and made into a small garden/park with stunning mirrored panels around it as a colonnade. Lived in London years but never stumbled on this until now. I loved it – it is a such a beautiful peaceful place to sit on a sunny day (there is shading over the seats). Inside is a grassy area to sit on."
