King's Cross Station
Euston Road, N1, Tube: King's Cross, Show Map
Although situated in one of London's most notorious drug-pushing districts, both King's Cross Station (along with the even grander St. Pancras) give good insight as to the importance that Britain placed upon its railway system during the Victorian era. Penned by Lewis Cubitt as the Great Northern Railway's London terminus, the station is said to stand on the site of a former smallpox hospital.
Even more intriguingly, it's also believed to be the last resting place of Queen Boudicca following her battle with the Romans in AD61.
And, though the area eventually came to be known as Battle Bridge, a monument erected in the honour of King George IV led to its name being changed to the current "King's Cross". Unfortunately for George, the monument was later removed, although of course, the name stuck.
CNN reporting that timing devices were discovered in the debris.
