 HPL: Platform Nine and Three-Quarters
JKR admits that she actually made a mistake when she placed Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station: "I wrote Platform 9¾ when I was living in Manchester, and I was actually thinking of Euston.
So anyone who's been to the real Platforms 9 and 10 at King's Cross will realise they don't bear a great resemblance to the platforms nine and ten as described in the book, and that would be because I was thinking of Euston at the time (HPM)."
The platform actually used for filming at King's Cross Station is Platform 4.

 Platform 9-3/4, Kings Cross Station, London
I'm told that a Platform 9-3/4 at King's Cross has significance in JK Rowling's famous Harry Potter book series; it isn't completely clear which came first and whether this sign was inspired by the books or the other way around.
It is located at the entrance to the annex trainshed (where platforms 9, 10 and 11 are) off platform 8 in the main station building and is not associated with any track or obvious boarding or assembly point.
England is so full of curious and oddly worded (to my eye) signage (see, for example, this sign at Heathrow) that I could just as easily believe either explanation.
