We have completed works in or adjacent to 6 Pancras Square (Google UK HQ), 1 Triton Square, 10 Brock Street, 2 Kings Cross Square, R7 (Meta) among others.

Every project is run by a named project manager reporting weekly with photographs and programme RAG.

The King's Cross market is dominated by tech giants (google, meta, deepmind, astrazeneca r&d), media (guardian, universal music, havas), creative (central saint martins, design studios), each with distinct commercial washrooms requirements — programme compression, landlord co-ordination, out-of-hours delivery, and full compliance ownership. Our commercial team has delivered commercial washrooms in trophy buildings including 6 Pancras Square (Google UK HQ), 1 Triton Square, 10 Brock Street, 2 Kings Cross Square.

King's Cross estate spans from the Regent's Canal to Euston Road, with anchor HQ buildings, Granary Square, Coal Drops Yard retail and the Saint Pancras International corridor. Occupiers are heavily weighted to tech, media, creative industries and education (UAL Central Saint Martins).
