You might not be able to find it on a map yet, but Kings Boulevard – London’s newest street, is quickly gaining a reputation as a place to find great food. Specifically great street food. Since the start of October the guys from Eat.St have been running ‘eat.st at Kings Cross’, a micro street food market on Thursdays and Fridays, with a rotating group of their traders.
