- ― Gordon
King's Cross (also known as London King's Cross) is a former Great Northern Railway (GNR) terminal station in the London Borough of Camden. It took its name from the King's Cross area of London, named after a monument to King George IV demolished in 1845.

Trivia
- To celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Railway Series, Christopher Awdry and Johnny Morris were invited to attend the naming of an Intercity 225 after Wilbert Awdry. Wilbert himself was unable to attend the event due to his health.
- To celebrate Easter in 2017, a giant 140kg chocolate sculpture of Thomas from Thomas & Friends was displayed at King's Cross Station. Made out of real Belgian chocolate, the display piece was sculpted by She Bakes and Plunge Creations in 250 hours by 3 master chocolatiers, and was surrounded by TrackMaster engines running around. An actor dressed as Sir Topham Hatt was on hand to hand out Easter eggs.
