Which London Underground station has a memorial to the 1987 King’s Cross fire?

King’s Cross St Pancras station has a memorial to the 1987 King’s Cross fire.

The fire occurred on 18 November 1987 in the escalator system at King’s Cross St Pancras Underground station. The disaster killed 31 people, including station worker Leslie Drynan, and led to major changes in Underground safety procedures.

A memorial plaque and commemorative features mark the victims and the event at the station. The fire also prompted the Fennell Report, whose recommendations influenced station management, emergency training, communications, and the replacement of wooden escalators.

The station name can be confusing because King’s Cross and St Pancras are neighbouring railway termini with a shared Underground complex. Russell Square was also affected by the fire, but the memorial is associated with the King’s Cross St Pancras station complex and the disaster’s site.
