Kings Place is a welcoming arts venue and conference destination in the heart of King’s Cross. Independently funded, Kings Place finances its artistic output through ticket sales, commercial enterprise and the hire of our spaces and facilities for rehearsals, conferences, filming and recordings.
With two world-class performance spaces, our unique programme of music, spoken word, comedy and family events is managed by the charity Kings Place Music Foundation. Audiences are our rhythm, and people connect here with their passion, no one gets lost in the crowd.
Festivals include London Podcast Festival, Jewish Book Week, London Piano Festival, Bach Weekend, Songlines Encounters and the venue’s year-long flagship series Unwrapped. Kings Place is also home to Pangolin London, London’s only commercial contemporary sculpture gallery, and Kings Place Gallery.
The award-winning building, which is also home to the Guardian newspaper, is located in the heart of King’s Cross on the Battlebridge Basin, and has its own public atrium, canal-side Rotunda Restaurant and Bar, plus the Green & Fortune Café.
