Description
The Big Chill offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a prominent freehold public house and late-night venue in the heart of King’s Cross, one of London’s most dynamic hospitality and leisure destinations. Positioned on Pentonville Road, the property is located moments from King’s Cross St Pancras Station, benefiting from unparalleled connectivity and sustained footfall driven by extensive redevelopment of the surrounding area.
This multi-level venue spans approximately 9,860 sq ft across basement, ground, first, and second floors, incorporating an ornate Victorian façade and flexible interiors suited to a range of trading formats. The existing configuration features extensive ground floor trading space, mezzanine with a rear dance area, a basement bar suited for private hire, and a first-floor function suite with dedicated bar. An external roof terrace enhances the customer experience, providing space for around 85 seated covers with fitted heaters.
The property also includes office accommodation on the second floor, a premises license under the Licensing Act 2003, and significant ancillary areas. It is offered freehold with vacant possession, and the vendor may also consider granting a new lease on terms to be agreed. This is a rare chance to secure a heritage landmark in King’s Cross with potential for continued hospitality use or alternative redevelopment, subject to planning.
