About Kings Place
Ten event spaces across a purpose-built canal-side arts venue, two minutes from King’s Cross St Pancras — Kings Place combines world-class acoustics with a contemporary setting designed for conferences, celebrations, and everything between.
The anchor is Hall One, a 415-seat auditorium with tiered seating and a Steinway concert grand. Every detail of the room was engineered for sound: the oak panelling was carved from a single tree to ensure consistent acoustic density, and the entire structure sits on spring flooring to isolate it from external vibration. For large-scale conferences and presentations, it’s one of the most technically accomplished spaces in London — and visually, the warm timber and precise geometry give it a character that generic hotel ballrooms simply don’t have. Adjacent, Hall Two seats 200 in theatre configuration and works equally well for plenary sessions, intimate performances, and award ceremonies.
Kings Place Battlebridge Room and Canal-Side Terrace
The Battlebridge Room is the social heart of the venue. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Regent’s Canal and a private covered terrace, it handles up to 400 standing or 180 seated. A built-in bar, dance floor, and coloured lighting on the copper-trimmed pillars make it a ready-made party space — but the natural light and canal views work just as well for daytime networking or a relaxed wedding reception. The room splits into two self-contained sections, so it flexes from intimate dinners to full-scale receptions without feeling over- or under-scaled.Meeting and Breakout Spaces at Kings Place
The Gallery Room seats 40 for private dining or 60 theatre-style, with a 75-inch screen, marbled floors, and acoustic panelling. It’s the newest addition and functions well as both a standalone boardroom and an intimate dinner space. The St Pancras Room offers a blank canvas option — whitewash walls suit branding and product launches, with projector, screen, stage, and PA included. The Limehouse, Wenlock, and Horsfal rooms round out the breakout options, handling groups from 18 to 37 in boardroom or cabaret configurations.Connecting Spaces and Exhibition Areas
The Kings Place Gallery and Music Foyer link the auditoriums to the event spaces. They double as exhibition areas and catering zones — seasonal art on the walls, open sightlines, and natural light create a backdrop for networking that feels more gallery opening than conference interval. For multi-day conferences or events that combine plenary sessions with exhibitions, the interconnected layout means guests move between spaces without ever stepping outside.Catering and Kings Place Event Operations
Green & Fortune handle all catering in-house, running a farm-to-table programme that sources beef and lamb from their own farm in Northumberland. Menus are seasonal and British, with a zero-waste commitment that extends across the building’s operations — Kings Place holds BREEAM’s highest sustainability certification, awarded when it opened in 2008. The in-house AV team manage everything from live-streaming and hybrid events to theatrical lighting, drawing on the same technical expertise that supports the venue’s year-round concert programme. On-site parking is available, and profits from events are reinvested into the Kings Place music foundation, which runs the venue’s cultural programme.Capacity at Kings Place
