The north London neighborhood of King’s Cross, adjacent to Camden Town and Bloomsbury, is home to the British Library and St Pancras Station. Most of its surrounding areas are popular with travelers on a budget, with the exception of Fitzrovia and Marylebone.
These two latter neighborhoods, in addition to Bloomsbury and Holborn, tend to appeal to more mature, sophisticated travelers; Marylebone also appeals to families who aren’t on a tight budget and looking for proximity to Regent’s Park and the Zoo, as well as several other attractions for children.
Euston Station is popular with backpackers and families on a budget, and Camden appeals largely to younger travelers looking for lively pubs and inexpensive meals. King’s Cross itself appeals to both budget travelers and those who are simply making London one stop amongst several on a European trip.
