Kings Cross market report WC1X 0, London
The standing WC1X 0 (Kings Cross) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. The raw material for this page is 909 HM Land Registry entries for WC1X 0 (London), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for WC1X 0 (London) is £1,917,500, from 2 registered sales, up 62% on five years earlier; the mean is £1,917,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £11,920 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 909 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
WC1X 0 is one sector of WC1X (London): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical WC1X 0 home went from £115,800 in 1995 to £1,917,500 in 2026, roughly 17 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 662%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the WC1X 0 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 1997 (+91.9% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−40.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WC1X 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +61.8% | +58.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +10.2% | +5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +12.0% | +8.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +9.1% | +6.2% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 2 sales completed in WC1X 0. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 54 sales a year over the last five years against 31 before the financial crisis. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of WC1X 0
For renting purposes WC1X 0 sits in Camden. The ONS average private rent there is £2,759 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £2,008 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,890, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Camden
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £1,917,500 median purchase price, a rent of £2,759 a month (£33,108 a year) works out at a 1.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market WC1X 0 is
Only 2 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WC1X 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within WC1X, this sector trades 142% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What you could buy in WC1X now

Bedroom by bedroom: WC prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WC area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat | £495,000 | £860,000 (+74%) | £1,405,000 (+63%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
The risers and the fallers

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
