EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Damian Grady showcases the vibrant transformation of Kings Cross in Camden, London. The image captures the picturesque scene of The Regents Canal, with its tranquil waters reflecting the surrounding urban landscape. Standing proudly amidst this revitalized neighborhood is Central St Martins College of Art & Design, a historic building that once served as a railway grain store and wagon marshalling shed. The photograph was taken in September 2012, capturing a moment in time when Kings Cross was undergoing an impressive regeneration process. This aerial view provides a unique perspective on the area's evolution from industrial to artistic hub. Maiden Lane Bridge stands elegantly nearby, connecting past and present. Grady's expert composition highlights both the architectural beauty of Central St Martins and its harmonious integration into the public open space beside it. The juxtaposition of old and new creates an intriguing visual narrative that speaks to London's rich history while embracing modernity. With its emphasis on urban regeneration, this print serves as a testament to how cities can reinvent themselves without losing their essence. It encapsulates not only the physical transformation but also reflects upon the cultural significance of such projects for communities at large. Damian Grady's skillful lens captures this pivotal moment in Kings Cross' journey towards becoming one of London's most sought-after destinations – where creativity thrives alongside remnants of its industrial past.
