Drifting around our site in Kings Cross


Water tower that is in our site can be seen sticking out behind Eurostar (http://www.eurostar.com/dynamic/index.jsp) train, one can take train to Paris from redeveloped station Kings Cross.


This photo is taken from terrace overlooking railway lands in beautiful Maiden lane estate that part of is to be demolished as planned by Camden council. website created by local community campaigners against this decision: http://www.maidenlaneestate.org/

Some interesting pictures of Maiden Lane estate can be found here: http://maidenlane.moonfruit.com


View of our site from Camley street. St Pancras cruising club was to be kicked out from their location, that is why the site is not easy accessible for wonderers, but I managed to take a picture of this car park, reaching through the fence from neighboring Camley street nature reserve

more about struggles in this area can be found in King's Cross railway lands group website: http://www.kxrlg.org.uk/

Wandering in neighboring tiny nature reserve that borders canal also as our site I was surprised to find a pink castle in one of ponds, dragged by the wind it was floating unattached to anything.

Next to our site is a park where is St Pancras Old Church that is believed one of oldest places of Christian worship in London and England

Climate Change

Key Facts about: Climate Change
Summer and winter precipitation: 1874-2007
England

Recent climate change scenarios have predicted that the UK will experience a change to rainfall patterns. Winters are expected to become wetter, while summers may become drier. The largest relative changes will be in south east England where summer rainfall may decline by up to 50 per cent by the 2080s.
Heavy winter rainfall will become more frequent, but the amount of snow could decline by 90 per cent by the 2080s.
The weather in the UK will continue to vary substantially from year-to-year for entirely natural reasons and any apparent short-term trends should be treated with caution. For example, in 2004 the United Kingdom experienced its wettest August since 1956.
