Gasholder Park Park in London

Reviews

1. Jsun ★★★★★

   Gasholder or Mirror Park is located on the regents canal. Part of the regeneration of Kings Cross, it is one of three old cast iron Gasholder frame from 1861 which has been turned into a small park. Consisting of a small green in the centre, surrounded by a mirrored sculptured walkway sheltering plenty of seating. As much as it felt like a quite place to come to escape hustle of Kings Cross, a place to have lunch or just sit and read a book. I can imagine it becomes very busy during the summer months with tourists and families. I visited on a lovely sunny day in mid October. The other two Gasholders, frame some stunning apartments and is a great reuse of the old cast iron gasholders mixed with very contemporary architecture. Just a lovely place to see the canal system in London, have a free day out seeing the sights or just a lovely place to bring the family or place to walk the dog.

   The place looks really nice and the mirror look on the legs are really cool. Some of the mirror like surfaces had some smudges but that's about it. There was a center area where you could sit on a nice patch of grass (or a bench on perimiter) and there were even flower around too. Good place to read a book.

   Gasholder Park. The wrought-iron frame of Gasholder No.8, which once held 1.1 million cubic feet of gas, instead, now home to a tranquil green space on the bank of Regent's Canal and the St Pancras basin. Dismantled, restored and rebuilt, the mirrored walkway toys with the setting sun and sits serenely, no longer dominating the King's Cross skyline as she once used to, but a lasting reminder of London's industrial past. Really, pleasant spot to walk, or spend some time - ample bars and food venues which would be great to enjoy in the summer months especially.

   We came across it by coincidence while walking around the neighbourhood . It was really mesmerising . The way the mirrors change depending on where you stand makes it really beautiful . It's quite quiet there as well with the canal which made it a very nice place to take a little break . The neighbourghood was very buzzling and lovely as well . Very happy to discover this gorgeous place .

   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.

   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.
