About

The Great Northern Hotel has stood on this spot in King's Cross since 1854, and though its seen a renovation since then, you can expect this old hotel to hark back to its roots with sophisticated interiors that evoke the hotel's Victorian heritage. 

If you're travelling through King's Cross and need a private dining space, either for a gathering of friends or family, or for clients jetting in and out of London on the Eurostar, The Great Northern Hotel has you covered with a choice of spaces. First and foremost, check out The Carriage - bedecked in cool blues and retro-patterned carpet, this cosy room can be set up for a private dinner or for small meetings, for up to 20 guests. Large windows ensure that the room has plenty of natural light, as well as a view across the iconic King's Cross station canopy. 

Leading off from the Carriage, you'll also find the Lounge, which makes an excellent spot for more informal food and drink occasions, like cocktail parties with canapes. Or, there's the semi-private mezzanine, which sits over the buzz of The Great Northern Hotel bar. The Mezzanine is open to the bar so you get a little taste of the atmosphere, but you're still lifted away from the action, and there's room here for small groups to have a bite to eat in some privacy. 

There are a range of options for those dining in The Carriage - The Great Northern Hotel can lay on anything from breakfast pastries and bacon rolls, to a range of buffet menus, including dishes like cheese croquettes with fig jam, leek and cheddar tart, beer battered cod with tartare sauce, and steak with bernaise sauce.

You can also exclusively hire both The Great Northern Hotel Bar and Terrace, and the Rails restaurant for larger occasions.
