The Cross

Stylish Mediterranean Dining Steps from the Stage

Set in a refurbished Victorian warehouse in the heart of King’s Cross, The Cross blends chic industrial design with warm Mediterranean hospitality. This multi-level dining and nightlife destination is just a short walk from some of London’s busiest concert halls and event spaces, making it an ideal stop before or after the show. With its rooftop terrace, elegant dining rooms, and a buzzing cocktail bar, The Cross offers a dynamic experience that evolves as the night unfolds.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located mere minutes from King’s Cross and Coal Drops Yard, The Cross is perfectly positioned for a pre-gig meal or a post-show cocktail. Quick, attentive service means you won’t be late for your set time, and the varied spaces—from a stylish restaurant to a rooftop bar—offer something for every vibe. The ambient lighting and upbeat music create a lively, yet not overwhelming atmosphere that hits the right note for fans heading out for a night of music.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to kick off the night in style
• Solo travelers wanting a high-quality meal in a welcoming setting
• Couples planning a romantic dinner before the encore
• Fans wanting a vibrant, social spot to soak up the pre-show buzz
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a memorable experience (weekday prix fixe menus help!)

What People Say

Diners rave about the "gorgeous interiors" and "excellent cocktails." The Mediterranean-inspired menu earns high marks for flavor and presentation, while staff are frequently described as "friendly," "knowledgeable," and "efficient." Many reviewers mention the ideal location for concertgoers, with easy access to nearby venues and transport links.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that portions can lean on the smaller side, especially during busy evenings. Weekends get crowded, so booking ahead is highly recommended. And while the music adds to the vibe, it might feel a bit loud if you're after a quiet, intimate dinner.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a trendy, well-located spot with great food and a fun atmosphere before or after a show, The Cross hits all the right notes.
