Esperance

Esperance Bridge, designed by Moxon Architects and Arup, is now open to the public at King’s Cross. The bridge spans Regent’s Canal and links Pancras Square with Coal Drops Yard.

The bridge’s name was chosen by local children from King’s Cross Academy, a school situated on King’s Cross Estate. Meaning ‘hope’ in French, the children chose Esperance as a symbol of positivity following a year of hardship for many.
