King's Cross welcomes two new office occupiers to 2 Pancras Square

King’s Cross has announced another two new occupiers at 2 Pancras Square, hot on the heels of the news that Just Park has opened a new 7,000 sq ft office in the building.

The lettings follow significant reinvestment by King’s Cross in its office portfolio, including recent enhancements to 2 Pancras Square to improve occupier experience and meet evolving business and workplace expectations.
