What kind of dark side? Rather more dreary decor? Dangerous to walk
down at night? Literally dark, as in lacking illumination?

I only ever used the Kings Cross Thameslink station once or twice, and I
never used the SMILE passageway.

It reminds me of Moorgate and Old Street on being taken over by BR.
LU stations always seemed to be warm and bright, but give the same
basic kind of space to BR and they seemed to be able to suck all light
and warmth out of it. I've never really been able to work out how
they do it, but I guess it goes back to its BR legacy.

The outside.

I almost always used it as a way from the Thameslink platforms to the
main station. Avoids the weather, and the strange creatures of the night
who lurk in that part of town.
