GREAT LOCATION
Located in the heart of King’s Cross, Kings Place is a purpose-built conference and arts venue that has been hosting business events, concerts, spoken word evenings, festivals, comedy and visual art for the last 10 years. Kings Place houses the first new build public concert hall to be built in central London since the completion of the Barbican concert hall in 1982. It also has seven floors of office space and has been home to the Guardian newspaper since December 2008. Not only is it just a five-minute walk from two mainline stations, it has four hotels just three minutes’ walk away, so there’ll be no wasting time travelling from accommodation to venue, allowing you to take as much advantage as possible of the facilities available.
EXCELLENT SERVICE
Winner of the Best Conference Venue Customer Service at the Conference Awards 2018, Kings Place houses two auditoriums, which can accommodate up to 400 delegates, two art galleries, a restaurant, a café and 10 unique event spaces. Fitted with state-of-the-art technology, the venue has been host to some of the most technologically demanding events and was the first London venue to have a dedicated 1GB internet line installed.
