Our must-hit, must-do, must-eat list in our London home of King’s Cross
London
Overview
Set in the heart of King’s Cross, The Standard, London is a design hotel housed in a former Brutalist landmark, just steps from St Pancras International and the best of central London. A little bit historic, a little bit disruptive, and entirely its own thing. Inside, you’ll find 266 rooms and suites, from cosy crash pads to terrace rooms with standout views across the London skyline. Expect bold design, playful details and everything you need for a city stay that doesn’t feel like one. This is more than a hotel in King’s Cross, London. It’s a social hub. A place for long lunches, late nights and everything in between.
Start downstairs at Double Standard, our all-day restaurant and bar serving up hearty classics, strong drinks and one of the best beer gardens in King’s Cross. It’s loud in the right way, laidback when you need it and always up for another round. Take it upstairs. The Rooftop at The Standard, London brings 360-degree views across the city, with cocktails, bubbles on tap and that unmistakable summer-in-the-city energy. Down below, discover destination dining and drinking, from live-fire cooking at Decimo to late-night moves at Sweeties and all-day everything at Isla. Music, culture and a bit of misbehaviour run through it all, from DJ sets and live sessions to spontaneous moments you didn’t plan but won’t forget.
Stay for the night, or don’t. Either way, you’re exactly where you should be.
