St. Pancras London is based in King’s Cross/St Pancras, NW1, and falls within the London Borough of Camden. Occupying the spectacular Grade I-listed former Midland Grand Hotel above St Pancras Station, this iconic location is one of London’s most visually distinctive hotels. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and originally opened in 1873, the building is an extraordinary example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture, featuring soaring ceilings, dramatic arches, ornate detailing, historic fireplaces, intricate woodwork and its instantly recognisable red-brick façade.
The hotel offers an exceptional variety of filming and photography environments within a single location. The historic Chambers Wing provides beautifully restored period interiors, while the Barlow Wing offers a more contemporary luxury aesthetic, allowing productions to achieve contrasting looks without relocating. The iconic Grand Staircase is a particular highlight, with its sweeping design, ornate railings and vaulted ceiling creating an impressive backdrop for your shoot.
Throughout the property, productions can make use of grand lounges, dining rooms, event spaces and an extensive selection of bedrooms and suites. The Chambers Suites retain distinctive Victorian features including high ceilings, marble fireplaces and original architectural detailing, while selected rooms offer striking views towards St Pancras International. Large windows and the station’s expansive glazed roof also provide atmospheric natural daylight across many areas of the hotel.
With 243 bedrooms and approximately 260 bathrooms, the property offers substantial flexibility for productions of varying sizes.
Parking for production vehicles may be available, including overnight parking, subject to prior approval. The nearest public transport link is King’s Cross St Pancras Station, approximately a one-minute walk from the property and offering extensive Underground, National Rail and international connections.
The property benefits from both domestic and higher-capacity power options. Disabled and alternative access are available, providing practical routes for cast, crew and equipment. Sound levels throughout the property are generally suitable for sound filming, although individual areas may be subject to the normal activity associated with an operational central London hotel and neighbouring transport hub.
