About this space

The Upper Room provides the ideal dry-hire space for:

Away Days & Conferences
Live Streaming, Hybrid & Live Music Events
Networking, Exhibition & Charity Fundraisers
Meetings & Workshops

Or any unique event you've got in store! The exposed brick walls, industrial windows & high ceilings provide the stylish aesthetics to match the high-end audiovisual support provided by our tech team. They're ready for any presentation, panel, live performance, live streaming or recording you've got to throw at them.

Lay out tables in cabaret style for 100 across the 1700 sq ft space, or seat your guests in theatre style to fill the room for 200, with full accessibility and a small kitchenette to support them throughout the day.

We’re 2 minutes from King’s Cross, St Pancras station. And, when we’re not hosting you, your hire helps us serve the local King’s Cross communities. The ground floor of the building provides a home for community activities & specialised services supporting people from all walks of life, including a debt centre, support for refugees and asylum seekers, a therapy clinic for those with additional needs, family support & help for those within the criminal justice system. Every booking fuels this ongoing story of new life.

For an event with a difference, a conference that’s simple to run or an away day that’s easy to get to, drop us a line, and we’d love to help you out.

Host rules

The room comes as a dry-hire; any production & AV can be added as extras. The room is flexible: it can be set up in theatre, cabaret, classroom or board room layouts. We are set-up for live streaming.

Rates given assume a minimum hire for 4 hours, at £300+VAT/hr. Bookings must finish and vacate the building by 11pm.

Because King's House is all about providing hope & support to more vulnerable members of the community & local area, we do not accept bookings relating to industries that have a detrimental impact on the welfare of individuals. No sweepstake, raffle, tombola, lottery or other form of gambling is to be permitted without prior consent. For this reason the hirer must honestly declare and fully represent at the outset the purpose for hiring the space - any actual or apparent misrepresentation may result in a cancellation of a booking without further liability.

Cancellation policy: Standard 60 day with Grace Period

Charity Event · 200 guests
Our experience with Kings House and Kings House Events Team was truly excellent. From the start, James at Kings House was extremely communicative and we were able to see the venue various times to ensure it was the perfect space for our event. We haven't run an event like this before, and despite our initial concerns, the event team made everything so easy, making this experience from start to finish really great. On the night, the event team was very supportive and relaxed, and the venue worked so well for our 20th anniversary celebrations. We couldn't thank James and the event team enough for everything they did to support our charity and make this such a special day.

Product Launch · 200 guests
I had the pleasure of hosting an event at this fantastic venue, and I must say, the experience exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the team was truly awesome. They were professional, and attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our event was a resounding success. The venue itself is absolutely great, boasting complete facilities that catered to all our needs. It provided the perfect backdrop for our event, and our guests were equally impressed. Many of them commended the venue's ambience, amenities, and overall atmosphere, making their feedback a testament to the venue's excellence. What truly sets this venue apart is the exceptional level of service we received. Whenever we encountered any minor issues, the team was quick to address them, providing timely solutions and ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Their helpfulness and willingness to go the extra mile made a significant difference in the success of our event. I highly recommend this venue to anyone in need of an exceptional event space. The team, including Geddy, Sara, and Becky, were absolute stars. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and warm hospitality were second to none. We felt truly valued and taken care of throughout the entire process. Without a doubt, we will be returning to host more events at this remarkable venue in the future. Thank you once again to the entire team for making our event a memorable one. Keep up the fantastic work!
