An exceptional living experience with a fantastic team

Moving into Author King's Cross has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The apartment itself is stunning—modern, bright, and incredibly well-designed with high-quality finishes. I was worried about noise given the central location, but the soundproofing is excellent. The amenities are a huge plus; I use the co-working space regularly, and the gym is better equipped than many private clubs I’ve joined in the past. What really sets this place apart, however, is the staff. The atmosphere is warm and community-focused. I have to give a special mention to Mr. Cosmin from the concierge team. He is an absolute credit to the building—always greeting you with a smile and going above and beyond to help with deliveries or any random questions. It makes such a difference coming home to friendly faces.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The location is unbeatable. You have Coal Drops Yard right on your doorstep with endless options for food and shopping, and a Waitrose nearby for groceries. The transport links at King's Cross and St Pancras are obviously world-class, making it so easy to get anywhere in London or hop on the Eurostar. The canal walks are a lovely bonus for a weekend stroll.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Management has been very responsive. I haven't had many maintenance issues, but the one small query I had was sorted out the same day. The team, especially Mr. X, really seem to care that residents are happy and comfortable.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I loved the outward facing units. If someone requires a quite view, there are ample number of garden facing options as well.

Manager response

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that life at Author Kings Cross has been such a positive experience for you. It’s wonderful to know the apartment, amenities, and location have all lived up to expectations. Your kind words about our team—especially Cosmin—mean a great deal to us. We’re committed to creating a welcoming, well‑run community, and feedback like yours reminds us why we love what we do. We're thrilled to have you here. Warm regards, Author Team

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

More road works occur than initially perceived, which sometimes causes bus not to stop near the building.

Great place for work & commute

Really well done new building with great eye for detail. Shared spaces like lounges and gym make it easy to spend some time while it rains but also give you additional space to your flat. Facing train noises directly in some apartments on the lower floors might be a bit rough at the start if you come from less noisy places but you adapt. Try to get a higher up flat or facing to the inner side. Concierge service really nice and supportive, especially Cosmin.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Generally great area for going quickly into the city. Great transportation options due to Kings Cross and nice spaces close by. Commuting is really easy and convenient. Train noise can be annoying depending on orientation of the windows / flat.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Generally quick response, depending on flat and flat owner it might take some time for resolution especially on weekends.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Ask for higher up flat or orientation away from trains, King’s Cross train lines are high frequency.

Manager response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, S. It’s great to hear that the design, shared spaces, and overall convenience of the location have made a strong impression. We really appreciate your thoughtful notes about train noise and orientation—insights like these are incredibly helpful for future residents. Your kind words about the concierge team, especially Cosmin, mean a lot to us. We’re glad to know our responsiveness has supported you well, and we’re delighted you’d recommend living here.

I loved my stay here. The design is stunning - modern, bright, and very high-spec. The facilities are top-tier. I loved the well-equipped gym and used everyday. Also, the management team truly makes a difference; huge shoutout to Cosmin, who was always friendly and incredibly helpful. I had multiple stroller packages, which needed to be moved to my apartment and he was helpful in assisting with it. The whole building has a wonderful, welcoming community vibe.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The location is unbeatable. You have incredible food and shopping at Coal Drops Yard and Granary Square right on your doorstep. Transport is flawless - being minutes from St Pancras and the Eurostar makes travel so easy. The area feels safe and vibrant, a perfect mix of buzz and convenience.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The management team was exceptional. Any small requests I had were resolved immediately. Cosmin was always quick to help and very friendly.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I didn't realize how nice the walks along Regent's Canal would be. Despite being in central London, you have a perfect escape right on your doorstep.

Manager response

Thank you, Yavor, for such a lovely review. It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your time at Author, from the design and facilities to the community feel of the building. Your kind words about Cosmin and the team mean a great deal; they take real pride in making life here as smooth and welcoming as possible. We’re also delighted that the neighbourhood and those canal walks became such a highlight. It’s been a pleasure having you as part of the community. Warm regards, Author Team

First-class service in a beautifully designed building

Author's King's Cross is a well-designed development with a modern, clean aesthetic throughout. The apartments are thoughtfully laid out with good natural light, and the building's finishes feel high quality. The facilities are excellent—the residents' lounge and rooftop terrace are great spaces for working or relaxing, and the on-site gym is convenient and well-maintained. The building is kept immaculately clean, which we really appreciate. What truly sets Author's apart is the concierge team. Cosmin and his colleagues are genuinely lovely people who remember residents by name and consistently go above and beyond—whether it's handling deliveries, helping with day-to-day queries, or simply greeting you with a smile. Their warmth and attentiveness make coming home a pleasure. Building management is responsive and keeps everything running smoothly. Any maintenance issues we've raised have been dealt with promptly. Overall, we've had a really positive experience living here.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

King's Cross is a brilliant place to live. Coal Drops Yard is right on our doorstep with excellent restaurants, independent shops, and bars - we're spoiled for choice. Granary Square and the Regent's Canal offer lovely green spaces and waterside walks, perfect for unwinding. Transport couldn't be better: King's Cross and St Pancras give you access to practically anywhere in London and beyond. The building is adjacent to the train tracks, so you'll occasionally hear trains, but the double-glazed windows do a great job of keeping it to a minimum—it's rarely noticeable inside. As for Author's itself—the concierge team are genuinely wonderful. They remember your name, handle deliveries with care, and consistently go above and beyond to help with anything we need. It's made a real difference to our experience here and we're very grateful for them.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management has been very responsive. Any issues we've raised—whether maintenance or general queries—have been acknowledged quickly and resolved promptly. Cosmin and the concierge team are always helpful in coordinating and following up.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Having both King's Cross and St Pancras on your doorstep is even more useful than it looks on a map. Eurostar weekends become dangerously tempting.

Manager response

Thank you, Akhil, for such a thoughtful and generous review. It’s wonderful to hear how much you’re enjoying both the design of the building and the shared spaces—so much care went into creating an environment that feels calm, modern, and genuinely comfortable, so your feedback means a lot. Your praise for the concierge team, especially Cosmin, is truly appreciated. Their warmth and attention to detail are a huge part of what makes the community feel welcoming, and it’s lovely to know that this has made a real difference to your experience. We’re also glad the neighbourhood has lived up to expectations—King’s Cross really does offer the best of everything, from transport to food to green spaces. And yes, having the Eurostar so close can be both a blessing and a temptation. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We’re delighted to have you here. Warm regards, Author Team
