Hatchards, N1C. London’soldest bookshop’s little Sister. It gave me no end of cheer to see this tucked away in Kings Cross St Pancras Station, perfect for taking a break from hunting for platform 9 & ¾. This mini-Hatchards boasts all the charm of the original in Piccadilly combined with all the elegant execution of modern bookshop design. Peppered with inspirational literary quotes to put you in the mood, it’s right next door to Fortnum and Mason (their Piccadilly pals of yore,) so you can grab a title and treat yourself to some proper tea within a few strides. https://www.hatchards.co.uk/

Camden Highline set to follow New York and revitalise London’s disused rails
Imagined by London-based firms Studio Weave and Architecture 00, this project for a temporary public park across the disused North London Railway follows rapidly in the wake of the highly successful New York High Line which saw a similarly disused part of the city’s rail network transformed into a public walkway and garden. The 0.8km stretch of railway links Camden with Kings Cross station and currently stands as an eyesore in an otherwise culturally vibrant part of the city.
The proposal would regenerate the line and make use of several bridges along the route, providing chill-out spots, and new pedestrian/cycle routes 8m off the ground to further help avoid the traffic below.
Looking forward to it.

I’m so busy dating fictional characters, that I actually don’t waste my time to think about “real” people.
At Kings Cross Station they should sell pumkin juice and butterbeer - for all Muggels who never know about our Wizard-world. They have to taste the awesomeness :-D
Maybe they should sell Sweets from Hogsmead, too..
