King's Cross on Your Doorstep

Beyond the transport links, the King's Cross area has transformed into one of London's most vibrant districts — Coal Drops Yard for shopping and dining, Granary Square, the British Library, and easy access to the rest of the city. The Great Northern makes an excellent base for it all, and a transfer to any airport or across London ties your trip together, whether for business, leisure or a Eurostar getaway.

The Ultimate Rail Traveller's Hotel

The Great Northern Hotel occupies a position that is close to unique among London's hotels, being not merely near a station but effectively part of the great railway hub of King's Cross and St Pancras, which makes it the natural choice for anyone whose visit to London revolves around rail travel. Originally built in the Victorian era to serve passengers of the Great Northern Railway, the hotel has been sympathetically restored to combine its period character and curving Victorian architecture with thoroughly modern comfort, and its location could hardly be bettered for the connected traveller. St Pancras International, with its Eurostar services whisking passengers to Paris, Brussels and beyond, is directly adjacent, while King's Cross serves the East Coast Main Line to the north of England and Scotland, and the vast interchange beneath offers Underground connections across the whole city. This makes the hotel ideal not only for those beginning or ending a Eurostar journey, who can step almost directly between platform and hotel without dragging luggage across London, but also for anyone using the capital as a hub for onward domestic rail travel or simply wanting a superbly connected base. The surrounding King's Cross district, transformed in recent years into a vibrant destination of restaurants, shops and public spaces around Coal Drops Yard and Granary Square, adds further appeal, and a fixed-price transfer from any airport completes the picture, delivering guests and their luggage directly to this exceptionally well-placed hotel.
