You can catch the fountains in the daytime and the
night-time but it would be preferable to see them during the dark hours to see
the full spectacle of the colours on display while you can catch it in the day
when you can see the fountains grow to different heights. All in all, there are
in total 1,080 fountain spurts using arcelormeter technology to propel and
animate them individually. The fountains were designed by The Fountains
Workshop.
The surroundings keeps planting to the minimal with an area
of trees right by the fountains. Influence of maritime history are apparent in
the area with not only of the fountains, but artworks of fishes and an enlarged
steering wheel encased behind glass featured outside a restaurant on the
ground. If you want to see more vegetation, you can head on over to Camley
Street Natural Park around the corner. The
Square is designed by Townshend Landscape Workshop.
The canalside steps located across the road from the
fountains take up theme-designed steps accordingly to the holiday occasion such
as spring and Halloween. You can catch canal boats running along Regent’s Canal
as you relax on 1 of the 8 levels of steps.
Between 17:00 to 20:00 each day, everyone can play Granary
Squirt which is a throwback to the days of playing Snake on Nokia phones. The
aim of the game is to avoid heading into any dead walls, other snakes and
random spurt walls. Tilting the phone fully in one direction will move the
snake in that very direction, except of course, that you are turning it in the
opposite direction to which it is moving in. The app is available on Apple and
Android devices.
Right next door to the Square, you can ascend on to the
Viewing Platform at the end of King’s Cross Boulevard catching views of the
surrounding areas of King’s Cross catching a glimpse of the top of the Shard.
