Local tips
- Visit outside peak commuting hours (before 8:30 AM or after 7 PM) for a quieter atmosphere and easier seating, especially if you’re not catching a train.
- Check the food serving times in advance, as the kitchen closes earlier than the bar, and popular dishes can sell out during busy periods.
- If you’re attending a private event or function, arrive a little early to explore the different rooms and find a comfortable spot before the main rush.

A Grand Station Pub Reimagined
Tucked inside the bustling King’s Cross Station, The Parcel Yard occupies a magnificent Grade I listed former goods depot, transformed into one of London’s most distinctive station pubs. Its soaring atrium, topped with a vast glass roof, floods the space with natural light and echoes the industrial elegance of the station’s Victorian and Edwardian past. Original features like exposed ironwork, salvaged brick, and varnished wood floors give the pub a characterful, lived‑in feel, while contemporary touches – plush seating, smart lighting, and a polished bar – keep it firmly modern. The atmosphere is buzzy yet relaxed, equally suited to a quick pint before a train and a long meal with friends.Inside the Parcel Yard Experience
Spread over two floors, the pub offers a variety of spaces: a main bar area perfect for solo travellers and small groups, cosy nooks and booths for more intimate gatherings, and dedicated function rooms for private events. Large screens show live sport, making it a popular spot for fans, while the open layout and high ceilings create a sense of space uncommon in busy transport hubs. The design pays homage to the site’s railway history with subtle nods like railway memorabilia and references to the ‘night mail’ era, all within a setting that feels both historic and thoroughly contemporary. Service is table‑based, a welcome relief for those juggling luggage and tickets.Food and Drink with a British Heart
The menu focuses on refined British pub classics, using seasonal ingredients to elevate familiar dishes. Breakfast might include bacon butties, kedgeree, or duck eggs with soldiers, while lunch and dinner feature options like venison pie with rich gravy and root vegetables, fish and chips with ale‑battered cod, and grilled plaice with samphire and shellfish dressing. Mains are complemented by desserts such as sticky toffee pudding made with vintage ale and pear, apple, and cinnamon crumble served in a cast‑iron dish. The bar showcases Fuller’s ales and craft beers, a well‑stocked selection of lagers and ciders, and a range of wines and spirits, making it easy to find a drink to suit any taste.Practicality and Atmosphere Combined
Its location next to Platform 9 and close to the Harry Potter Platform 9¾ attraction makes The Parcel Yard a natural meeting point for tourists and locals alike. Step‑free access, lifts, and accessible toilets ensure it is welcoming to all, and the pub is family‑friendly with baby changing facilities. While prices reflect its prime station location, the quality of the surroundings and the convenience of table service add value for travellers and city dwellers. Whether you’re catching a train, meeting friends, or hosting a private event, The Parcel Yard offers a stylish, comfortable space where the romance of the railway meets the ease of modern London life.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
