The King Charles I, Kings Cross

A welcoming oasis of strange loveliness in the heart of King's Cross. The ales are superb, the eclectic decor presents a surprise on every side, there is an old bar billiards table, the jukebox rocks and is regularly updated and the barstaff are the personification of friendliness. If the weather is fine, the outdoor seating area is charming, as Northdown Street is quiet and untroubled by traffic on the whole. If you're in King's Cross and looking for something that little bit different and considerably more interesting, try the King Charles 1st and you can't go far wrong. Quite simply my favourite London boozer.
