About Great Northern Hotel

This old railway hotel dates all the way back to 1854, and though it has been modernised and renovated since then, The Great Northern Hotel still celebrates its Victorian heritage. From the rooms to the restaurant and bar, the hotel still emphasises the grandeur of the Victorian railway hotel, and the bustling vibe of these transport hotels, where many are en route in or out of the city. 

Whether for those permanently in London or just stopping by, The Great Northern Hotel makes a fantastic location for a meeting or event, not least because it's just minutes from King's Cross and St Pancras stations. 

Many of those looking for a private space within The Great Northern Hotel head to The Carriage - a stylish, intimate space on the first floor of the hotel that caters for practically any occasion, from private dinners to celebrations and even corporate events. The flexible space can be set up however you like (with capacity for up to 40 guests for standing functions), and large windows mean that the space is bathed in natural light, whilst also giving a view across the King's Cross Station canopy. 

Across the way from The Carriage is the Lounge, another flexible space than can be set up for intimate gathering. The room can be divided into two, or opened up into one larger room with capacity for 60 standing guests. Or head to The Mezzanine of The Great Northern Hotel Bar & Terrace - this is the smallest of the rooms with capacity for around 12 guests, but the semi-private nature of the space means you still get some of the buzz of the bar below, with a modicum of privacy. 

The Great Northern Hotel can cater for most events, so whether you're planning a private dinner for friends and family or looking for somewhere to host a client, get in touch with the events team for more.
