Trivia

• King's Cross birthday is the opening date of both London King's Cross and the Metropolitan Railway in 1863.
• King's Cross's magic theme is a reference to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, an iconic landmark in London King's Cross. The ride on the Hogwarts Express starts from King's Cross railway station platform 9 3/4, which is hidden from view, and reached by walking through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10.
• King's Cross's personality is a homage to Hermoine Granger of the Harry Potter series. King's Cross is extremely intellectual and very hard-working, coming out on top in all of her classes in St. Iris Academy, and is also a strict perfectionist, with little tolerance for tomfoolery.
• King's Cross's black ribbons and her [Guardian of Silence] outfit features motifs of the patron saint. The Union Jack, the British flag, is a combination of three guardian saint symbols: Cross of Saint Andrew, Cross of Saint Patrick, and the Cross of Saint George, can all be seen.
• King's Cross's white checkered ribbons on her twin tails references the iconic white steel grids inside London King's Cross.
• King's Cross's liking of hairstyling and nail art references the many hairdressers and nail salons around London King's Cross.
• King's Cross was formerly Islington Elrond's personal bodyguard, but still unofficially protects her as a train knight for the majority of their appearances unless ordered otherwise.
• The building in the background of [Guardian of Silence] features the train station building itself.
• "Obliviate" is a Memory Charm in Harry Potter, used to erase specific memories from an individual's mind. Unlike the Harry Potter series however, Obliviate simply does damage and lowers self hostility ratings.
• King's Cross is one of six train knights who were a part of a collaboration event in Flower Knight Girl (From Beyond the World of Flowers / 花の世界の向こうから) that was held from April 15th, 2024 to April 30th, 2024. The other featured train knights were Victoria, Paddington, Yakutsk, Yoshino, and Miyako. In the event's story mode, King's Cross is paired with Kausurippu / Cowslip. King's Cross at first is guarded around Cowslip and her gyaru-like appearance, but relaxes somewhat after seeing how serious Cowslip is on the battlefield combined with how strong of a mage she is.

King's Cross railway station, also known as London King's Cross, is a passenger railway terminus in the London Borough of Camden, on the edge of Central London. It is in the London station group, one of the busiest 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 Kings Cross in 1852 by the Great Northern Railway on the northern edge of Central London 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 the 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.

A number of famous trains have been associated with King's Cross, such as the Flying Scotsman service to Edinburgh. The Gresley A3 and later streamlined A4 Pacific steam locomotives handled express services from the 1930s until 1966. The most famous of these was Mallard, which holds the world speed record for steam locomotives at 126 miles per hour (203 km/h), set in 1938.

The £500 million restoration plan announced by Network Rail in 2005 was approved by Camden London Borough Council in 2007. It involved restoring and reglazing the original arched train shed roof and removing the 1972 extension at the front of the station and replacing it with an open-air plaza.

The new semi-circular departures concourse opened to the public in March 2012. Situated to the west of the station behind the Great Northern Hotel, it was designed by John McAslan and built by Taylor Woodrow Construction, part of Vinci. It caters for much-increased passenger flows and provides greater integration between the intercity, suburban and underground sections of the station. The architect claimed that the roof is the longest single-span station structure in Europe and the semi-circular structure has a radius of 59 yards (54 m) and more than 2,000 triangular roof panels, half of which are glass. The steel structure of the roof, engineered by Arup, has been described as being "like some kind of reverse waterfall, a white steel grid that swoops up from the ground and cascades over your head".

Within King's Cross, a cast-iron "Platform 9 3/4" plaque was erected in 1999, initially in a passageway connecting the main station to the platform 9–11 annexed. Part of a luggage trolley was installed below the sign: the near end of the trolley was visible, but the rest had disappeared into the wall. The location quickly became a popular tourist spot amongst Harry Potter fans. The sign and a revamped trolley, complete with luggage and bird cage, were relocated in 2012, following the development of the new concourse building, and are now sited next to a Harry Potter merchandise shop.
