Venue of the Week: The Carriage at Great Northern Hotel 1024 683 micebook.

Tucked between two of London’s busiest transport hubs – King’s Cross and St Pancras International – is a hidden gem that merges historical charm with modern amenities. The Carriage is an intimate and versatile meeting space, located inside the Great Northern Hotel, which offers a fresh take on corporate gatherings, offering business professionals an elegant space in a convenient location.

The Great Northern Hotel itself is surrounded in history. Built in 1854, it was London’s first great railway hotel and is a Grade II listed building. However, The Carriage, its soundproof meeting room, adds a modern edge. It offers space for between 10 and 30 guests, and is the perfect spot for productivity and connection. Layout options include a roundtable for collaborative discussion, theatre-style for a presentation, or opt for a standing layout for a drinks reception. Whatever is on your itinerary, The Carriage can adapt with ease.

The design of the room pays tribute to the hotel’s Victorian roots while embracing a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Rich wooden panelling surrounds the space, giving it a warm and distinguished feel. Cleverly concealed behind those panels is a 75-inch screen, which connects easily via HDMI or wireless, making it ideal for seamless, fuss-free presentations. The room is also fully soundproofed, providing a focused and private environment for those all important meetings.

What makes The Carriage truly special, though, is its ability to transform throughout the day. As the meetings wind down, the room can shift effortlessly into an area for a drinks reception and light refreshments. The hotel’s signature restaurant, RAILS, is known for its Modern British menu with a touch of Parisian elegance, and can provide everything from exquisite canapés to full-service private dining.

In addition to its stunning interior, very few venues can offer the kind of access that The Carriage does. Situated just a few steps from both the London Underground and Eurostar terminal, it’s an ideal base for both domestic and international guests. Combine this with the polished service and attention to detail that the Great Northern Hotel is known for, and you have a venue that goes beyond the usual boardroom. Whether you’re planning a leadership retreat, an investor pitch, or a memorable gathering for clients, The Carriage offers more than just four walls and Wi-Fi. It’s a meeting space with soul—steeped in history, styled for today, and set in one of London’s most dynamic locations.
