Great Northern Hotel

A beautiful Victorian railway hotel in the heart of King's Cross, with elegant spaces for weddings, private dining and celebrations.

Just a few steps from King’s Cross and St Pancras stations, the Great Northern Hotel has been part of London’s railway history since 1854. Designed by architect Lewis Cubitt, this Grade II listed building has been beautifully restored, retaining much of its Victorian character while offering all the comforts of a modern boutique hotel.

Today, the Kaya Great Northern Hotel welcomes couples for civil ceremonies, wedding receptions and private celebrations. There are several spaces to choose from, depending on the size of your wedding. The Carriage is ideal for a more intimate gathering, while RAILS Restaurant can accommodate larger celebrations. The Lounge and Mezzanine also offer lovely settings for drinks with family and friends.

With a restaurant, bar and guest bedrooms all under one roof, you can celebrate your wedding without having to leave the hotel. And for guests arriving from elsewhere in the UK or abroad, the location couldn’t be more convenient.

Why couples choose this Venue?

There’s something special about celebrating your wedding in a building with so much history. The Great Northern Hotel offers a beautiful backdrop, with its Victorian architecture, elegant interiors and views across King’s Cross. For smaller celebrations, The Carriage provides a private space where you can sit down with your closest family and friends. If you’re planning a bigger wedding breakfast, RAILS Restaurant offers room for up to 90 guests.

The hotel also offers wedding menus, drinks packages and accommodation, giving couples plenty of flexibility when planning their day. And with St Pancras International just across the road, it’s particularly convenient if you have guests travelling from overseas.

Final Thoughts

One thing we particularly like about the Great Northern Hotel is its location. You're right in the heart of King's Cross, with some wonderful spots for wedding photographs just a short walk away.
If you're considering the hotel, we'd recommend arranging a visit to see the different spaces in person.
It's also worth discussing which rooms can be used for your ceremony and reception, particularly if you'd like to organise everything in one place.
