Kings cross by night: for the party animal,
This area has a bit of a reputation with anyone you mention
it to, the same is definitely not true
of the Kings Cross girl. The area used to be synonymous for ladies of the
night, but the streets have long since been cleaned up and all that remains is
the Flyingscott’s man and an old sex shop. As with the day time girl there is a lot on
offer, close to station is the St Pancreas Renaissance hotel that boasts a
stunning bar if you want to have a top notch start to your night. If you are returning from Europe there is a
little Champagne and oyster bar where you can train-watch and wait to be
collected in style.
Out Euston road exit and turn
right as there is a great Backpackers bar on the corner of Caledonian Road and
Pentonville Road that once was the Brill bar & grill. The name has changed
but it is still our local hang out we have never stayed over but I guarantee
that it serves up some of the cheapest drinks in town. Further along visit Simmons for a red wine (£10)
or beer while playing a old board game. This a quaint little spot where you can
chill and forget the world, that is if you can get a spot as there are only 4
table and then two lounge chair with a side table. Do bring ID (not a copy) after
6pm as there is a bouncer that will not let you in, once you are past him you can listen to retro songs, and try
figure out where the maps is from the in the toilet.www.simmonsbar.co.uk/
One or two other favourites are
the Big Chill with its multiple layer’s to choose from to party the night away www.bigchill.net/house(be warned is get’s busy here), The Golden Lion that was Kings cross social club(here
you put your name in a jar & you can win £50 of bar spend. It is possible
as we have won it before). When all that is left is to eat, Poalina’s is a must
stop (181 Kingscross Road) where the little old couple prepare the Chinese food
in an open kitchen and you can bring you own alcohol and still pay such
reasonable prices, it is just one of those hidden gems.
All in all Kings Cross is a
changing area that has managed to keeps its charm but improve, now that sounds
like someone I want to be.
