Unmagical London and King's Cross
|
Contents
Overview
King’s Cross is a major train station that is used by both Unmagicals and witches and wizards. The grandiose station features Victorian-style architecture and has two entrances. The exterior of the King’s Cross is made up of brick and sandstone blocks, which towers over neighbouring buildings. Inside the station, and above the platforms, is a large curved conservatory and decorative arches that contribute to the magnificence of King’s Cross.
The creation of King’s Cross was the result of London’s magical government needing to create safe travel routes for magical folks. A famous example of this is Platform 9½.
Platform 9½ is a hidden platform in King’s Cross station that is located in between Platform 9 and Platform 10. The platform serves as a way for witches and wizards to travel to the magical town of Hogsend and the magical school, Hogsworth. To enter Platform 9½, magical folks have to run headfirst into the wall located between Platform 9 and 10.
King’s Cross, in unmagical London, is located on the southern part of the world map. King's Cross can be accessed at any time by entering the Hogsworth Express train located at the Hogsend train station and clicking on the empty seat. However, the level range of London is 25 and above.
