Getting there and practical details

Neighborhood
King's Cross

King's House hosts conferences, hybrid events, training days and team away days for up to 200 people in its auditorium, and offers a second venue, All Saints, for up to 60. It is a non-profit event space on Pentonville Road in King's Cross, London, set in a renovated former billiard hall.

Seminars and company events

The main space on the first floor covers 2,000 square feet and works as a flexible auditorium of 200 seats with a full PA and AV setup. Live-streaming equipment and in-house production make it a practical choice for hybrid conferences, where part of the audience joins online. Smaller rooms in the building serve as breakout space for workshops and meetings during a larger event. The venue lists corporate events, summits, launches, local conferences, training days, charity AGMs, studio hire, workshops and live music among its uses. Quotes are hourly and run from arrival to departure, so setup and pack down time should be included in the plan. Hire is offered on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Rooms and capacities

The King's House auditorium seats up to 200 guests. All Saints, the second venue offered by the same team, takes conferences, meetings and live music for up to 60 guests. The breakout rooms in King's House have no published capacities, so the team confirms numbers for each brief. Tables and chairs are supplied with every booking, and audiovisual support and staffing are part of the quote.

Catering

King's House works on a dry hire basis. Tea and coffee are provided, but meals and drinks come from an outside caterer, chosen from the venue's recommended list or brought in by the client. Your team handles setup and pack down. The building is nut free, so any caterer must be briefed on that rule before the event.

History and setting

The building was once a billiard hall, and the renovation kept its exposed brick, large industrial windows and high ceilings. King's House is an initiative of King's Cross Church, known as KXC, and several charities are based here. The ground floor houses a debt center, a therapy clinic for people with additional needs, family support and mentoring for people in the criminal justice system. Charity partners use the spaces free of charge during the week, and commercial hire helps pay for that. Registered charities receive a discount on room hire. A coffee bar on site opens on weekday mornings.

Getting there

The address is 242 Pentonville Road, London N1 9JY. King's Cross station is about two minutes on foot, and St Pancras International is next to it, which puts the venue on direct routes to the Eurostar, to Thameslink trains for Gatwick and Luton airports, and to six London Underground lines. The site describes the space as accessible; organizers with specific access needs should ask the team for details before booking.
