Architecture

Luma is a sophisticated residential escape which takes full advantage of its tranquil setting. Elegantly faceted balconies open out to Jellicoe Gardens and Lewis Cubitt Park, connecting the parkside retreat with the inner sanctuary of home.

Luma sits within a fully managed estate where pristine lawns and seasonal planting have been designed by award-winning landscape architect. The serene Lewis Cubitt Park and the manicured Jellicoe Gardens flank Luma on either side. Garden views at dawn or park views at dusk? The choice is yours.

Throughout King’s Cross there is a range of new open spaces in which to take a moment and reflect.

Take a seat on the landscaped seating among the arching waterjets and fountains of Granary Square, relax on the grass within the guideframe at Gasholder Park or dine on the continental style terraces at Pancras Square.

There are plenty of opportunities to stay active on your front door, whether it’s joining a bootcamp, practicing yoga and pilates at Frame, or exploring the outdoors with a running club. For a solo venture, King’s Cross can also be seen by bike – a whole range of scenery waiting to be discovered on two wheels.
