キングス・クロス駅(英語:King's Cross station)は、1852年に開業した主要鉄道ターミナルである。駅はロンドン中心部の外縁部、キングス・クロス地区のA501ユーストン・ロードとヨーク・ウェイの交差部にあり、カムデン・ロンドン特別区内、イズリントン・ロンドン特別区との境界部にある。
キングス・クロス駅はイギリスの主要鉄道幹線の1つであるイースト・コースト本線の南の終着駅である。すぐ西隣にはユーロスターの終着駅であるセント・パンクラス駅があり、2つの駅はロンドン地下鉄のキングス・クロス・セント・パンクラス駅を共有している。
なお「king's」の英米語での発音は/kɪŋz/であることから[2]、発音に則した形でカタカナ表記すると「キングズ」となるが、慣用的に清音の「キングス」を用いる例が多い[3]。
King's Cross railway station, also known as London King's Cross, is a Central London railway terminus on the northern edge of the city. It is one of the busiest railway stations in the United Kingdom and the southern terminus of the East Coast Main Line to North East England and Scotland. Adjacent to King's Cross station is St Pancras International, the London terminus for Eurostar services to continental Europe. Beneath both main line stations is King's Cross St. Pancras tube station on the London Underground; combined they form one of the country's largest transport hubs.
The station was opened in 1852 by the Great Northern Railway in the Kings Cross area to accommodate the East Coast Main Line. It quickly grew to cater for suburban lines and was expanded several times in the 19th century. It came under ownership of the London and North Eastern Railway as part of the Big Four grouping in 1923, who introduced famous services such as the Flying Scotsman and locomotives such as Mallard. The station complex was redeveloped in the 1970s, simplifying the layout and providing electric suburban services, and it became a major terminus for the high-speed InterCity 125. As of 2018, long-distance trains from King's Cross are run by London North Eastern Railway to Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Central via York and Newcastle; other long-distance operators include Hull Trains and Grand Central. In addition, Great Northern runs suburban commuter trains in and around north London.
In the late 20th century, the area around the station became known for its seedy and downmarket character, and was used as a backdrop for several films as a result. A major redevelopment was undertaken in the 21st century, including restoration of the original roof, and the station became well known for its association with the Harry Potter books and films, particularly the fictional Platform 9¾.
