King’s Place is an arts complex within office buildings. Although primarily a venue for concerts in its two halls two floors below ground, they also play host to lectures, poetry readings, literary festivals and political events and much else besides. So far as classical music is concerned the halls are ideal for chamber music but can accommodate a small orchestra too. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment are resident and have their offices here. Over the past few years it has increasingly featured extended festivals such as Beethoven’s piano music or the Bach weekend during which I attended a concert of flute sonatas, a fugue for violin and harpsichord, solo cello and instrumental music. But I was equally tempted by the orchestral concerts, for example, the complete Brandenburgs preceded by a lecture. An opportunity to visit the current art exhibition on the lower two floors, works from the Ruth Borchard collection of mainly but not exclusively self-portraits. The Pangolin Gallery on the ground floor specialising in sculpture was closed as it was a Sunday but there are still sculptures on view in the public spaces both inside and out. Oh and there is also catering including a cafe serving pizza and the more formal self-contained Rotunda restaurant.

About 400 metres from kings cross underground station is this wonderful location near to the canalside. Clean and upmarket area.

A trip to London from the South Coast, primarily to listen to a Concert with VOCES8 and Rachel Podger. Arrived in good time so visited their restaurant, Not cheap but so very nice. Kings Place, built ten years ago has a Concert Hall, several smaller halls over a number of levels. Backs onto the Regent Canal for a nice outside veranda. The concert was superb. Acoustics superb. All very new and top spec. Lots of staff around to assist you to make your visit great. Lots of places to sit, free Wi-Fi Lounge seats, cafe, nice eats and drinks at various places.

I come here regularly for amazing concerts from classical to jazz and modern. But the venue offers much more.There are all sorts of events, readings, debates, specific themes, for instance at the moment they have Jewish Book Week. The concerts also highlight themes over a year, it could be a composer or an instrument or a style. The space is beautiful, open, light and airy. There are cafés and a restaurant, although that one is quite pricey. They have various art exhibitions on the walls. Even if you are not attending an event it is worth a visit if you have a moment to spare between trains at Kings Cross. In the summer the location is beautiful with views out onto the canal. One of my favourite London venues.

Canal side location and there are plenty of inside and outside restaurants, cafes, meetings rooms, rather surprised at how well organised and appointed it is as had never heard of it! Great location very close to Pancras Square and Kings Cross.
