Set within the regenerated King’s Cross district, this multi-level music and events venue brings together the scale of a live performance space with the atmosphere of a late-night club. Arranged across four main floors, the building combines several distinct rooms, three bars, two dancefloors and a substantial live stage, allowing events to move between different settings throughout the night. The venue’s layered layout and varied interiors create a strong sense of discovery, making it well suited to live music, club nights, private parties and large-scale brand events.

The Main Room and Stage form the venue’s performance centre, with a low stage and dancefloor arranged across a series of terraces. A long balcony runs along one side, accessed from the mezzanine level, offering an elevated viewpoint that can also function as a VIP area. Elsewhere, the Foyer Bar introduces a more architectural feel, with a striking terrazzo floor, high vaulted ceiling and twin staircases leading into the main room. A smaller, low-ceilinged lounge known as the Foyer Den provides a more intimate contrast, while the DJ booth can also be used for merchandising during showcases and ticketed events.

Above, the Glass Bar offers a more relaxed lounge atmosphere, with comfortable sofas positioned beside large windows overlooking the Main Room. It can serve as a VIP bar or quieter retreat from the main event, while the top-floor Balcony Bar provides another distinct environment, with a broad balcony overlooking the main floor, booth seating and its own DJ booth. A temporary wall and stage system can be installed for performances in this space, with a kitchen also located on the same level.

With a combination of Martin Audio and Funktion-One sound systems, specialist in-house technicians and a late music and dance licence, the venue is equipped to support ambitious music-led programming. The courtyard and smoking area provide additional space beyond the main rooms.
