The Standard London
The Standard, London is the first European outpost of the famed US-based lifestyle hotel group, opened in July 2019 in the striking Brutalist shell of the former Camden Town Hall Annexe at King’s Cross/St Pancras. The hotel offers a bold fusion of retro‑modern design, dynamic social spaces, and culinary flair, all anchored in a memorable Brutalist landmark in one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.
The Standard, London features a range of versatile venues for every occasion. Host intimate cocktails on the 8th-floor Townhouse terrace with views of St. Pancras, throw a party against the backdrop of the London skyline at Sweeties, enjoy elevated dining in Decimo’s semi-private room, or stage podcast recordings and brand activations—all under one iconic roof.
