The King’s Cross fire was a fatal underground fire in London which broke out at approximately 19:30 on 18 November 1987, and which killed 31 people.
It took place at King’s Cross St. Pancras station, a major interchange on the London Underground. The station consisted of two parts, a subsurface station on the Circle and Metropolitan Lines and a deep-level tube station on the Northern, Piccadilly, and Victoria Lines.
The fire started in an escalator shaft serving the Piccadilly Line, which was burnt out along with the top level of the deep-level tube station.
