After World War II the area decline from being a poor but busy industrial and distribution services district to a partially abandoned post-industrial district. By the 1990s it was notorious for prostitution and drug abuse. This reputation impeded attempts to revive the area, utilising the large amount of land available following the decline of the railway good yard to the north of the station and the many other vacant premises in the area. In the 1990s the government established the Kings Cross Partnership to fund regeneration projects, and the commencement of work on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link in 2000 provided a major impetus for other projects. Within a few years much of the socially undesirable behaviour had been eradicated or at least moved on, and new projects such as offices and hotels had begun to open.

The area is expected to remain a major focus of redevelopment through the first two decades of the 21st century. Eurostar trains are due to enter neighbouring St Pancras station in 2007 and the construction project has led to the demolishing of several buildings, including the Gasworks. (Built in the 1860s and rebuilt in the 1880s was still in use until 1999). Several gasholders that had dominated the area behind station for over a century have been taken down during the building works and placed in storage. Once the new line is up and running a development project on the land between the two major stations and the old Kings Cross goods yard is expected to commmence. This will be called King's Cross Central, and is planned as one of the largest construction projects in Greater London in the first quarter of the 21st century.
