The Booking Office in Camden

Italian waiter was amazing. Perfect service and great food.

Been here a few times with work and also with family Best cocktails in the area and we were lucky to be there on their anniversary where they made us some punch on the house

Muy buen ambiente y buena sensación. Sin embargo, la comida no coincidía con el nivel de precios. El ojo costal era de buena calidad pero cero costuras. Definitivamente no valía la pena el alto nivel de precios.

The vibes were immaculate. Can’t wait to return!

Lovely setting. Good food. Unfortunately, our breakfast main course arrived before we had finished our, generous, fruit salads. I had the impression that coffee involved free refills. This may apply to regular Americano, but I had decaf & my wife had both. Our coffee bill was steep.

I used to be a big fan of the Gilbert Scott bar, and I was hoping the Booking Office would carry on the tradition. I have tried to go three times and each time the concierge has ignored me or wandered off. Now I get a sort of Groundhog Day feeling whenever I consider stopping by. Strangely Searcy's, just down the road, presumably under the same management, doesn't have these issues.

Great place, strong cocktails- quite pricey though

Exceptional atmosphere along with the staff and food ! Thank you very much for a perfect evening. The steak diana was amazing!

The food here is great and so is the coffe maker Daniel who did some wonderful designs on the coffe, overall a really good experience at the booking office.

Visité la oficina de reservas de nuevo después de 10 años y no me decepcionó. El lugar es impresionante. Sangram fue excelente recomendando algunos bocadillos y guiándonos con la lista de cócteles. Una joya en King’s Cross con una gestión y personal muy profesional. Una visita obligada en Londres.

We were received by a loveliest lady at the front, and the waiters were equally great. The food was absolutely amazing. I had one of their recommended cocktail and will definitely go back for it.

The wait for our drinks order to be taken was over 30 minutes, and it took 45 minutes for our first drinks to arrive after arriving. The hosts are polite, but the system seems to be a little broken. Of course, the food and decor is beautiful and I visit here when you have time would be recommended.

Great food and service again…. Will be back again soon :)

Celebrated our son's 18th birthday there. It was lovely. Great service, nice atmosphere :) thank you so very much :)

Tuvimos una gran velada en Booking Office 1869 , gran ambiente y servicio, especialmente de Nela que recomendó grandes cócteles. Sin duda volveremos 😊

Service was poor and very slow… Waiter was barely attentive and our roast took almost 2 hours to come. Roast was also average. The only good thing about this place is the Ambiance. Would not come back and not worth the trip

Beautiful ambience, incredibly kind and welcoming staff PLUS great food. Too few placed in London hit all the high notes at once. Thanks to the team at the Booking Office for a great evening the other night, reuniting with friends from outside London! Made our city feel like the best :-)

Very nice looking. Service started well, but disappeared mid-through. Food was solid, but not memorable.

I want to preface this with saying me and my husband worked in the service industry for 10 years, we are very chill go with the flow customers. I have never made a review before but I felt like this needed to be at least expressed in some way. The decor and look of the restaurant is amazing and the food was very good however the service was not what we expected for how much we spent. When we got there out we were greeted by an extremely friendly person at the host stand who made note that we made the reservation and stated it was our honeymoon, he was excited for us and we were in general excited about it being our honeymoon. We were seated and didn’t receive any service for around 20 minutes, which we laughed off but were a little confused. Once a waiter came over she was amazing but we discovered by observation that where we were seated was not her section. Our actual waiter, Lazario, then switched back to our section and our waiter. He was aloof and seemed to blame the table confusion on us. He never came to ask how our food was and never filled our waters without being prompted to by another employee or by one of us. The tables around us were checked in on by those who looked like shift leads or managers but no one came to check on us or ask how we were doing. The cherry on top was as we were leaving. We were waiting behind a large group of seven women who were being helped at the host stand by a man who appeared to be a manager. He was very happy and jovial with the group helping them get their table but when it came to helping us his demeanor changed. We told him we just needed to pick up our luggage, and that another employee had put in their luggage closet. We were handing him the bag check ticket and he, in a very annoyed tone, went “what is this”. He did retrieve our bags but we again were not asked how our experience was, and were met with short and harsh service. We went in excited and happy to be ending our honeymoon at Booking Office 1869 but the service fell short for us getting drinks, a starter, appetizer, two entrees and two desserts.

Poor experience on Friday night here for dinner and drinks, some Food served cold, not enough waiters and a confusing menu. Really disappointed given the history of the place and prices

Awesome cocktail (5/5) Steak was better than good (4/5)

Beautiful venue, love the table sharing dishes, perfect for a business lunch albeit a little pricey.

Mark, what a gentleman! Went to Booking Office with my wife for our anniversary, were greeted by two lovely ladies, after we were taken care by Mark. He made us feel like royalty. The food, atmosphere is 10/10. We were even given a little anniversary surprise at the end. And Mark kudos for the French wine names pronunciation.

A unique setting and special place for important occasions. Good menu, healthy choices, well presented and tasty! Great service.

I came in here on a Tuesday night to get a drink and do a little work, whilst waiting for a train. I was unceremoniously told that laptops were not allowed. I decided to leave, as the only other option was to move to the lobby area in the hotel, a completely different space away from the bar. In all honesty, I would probably avoid this bar for the foreseeable, even though I am a regular visitor to St. Ps - the staff weren't exactly "friendly" this time and if I'm not allowed to sit in the corner, answer a few emails, whilst nursing a pint, well, there are other places in St. Ps just as nice that can offer me that option.

Fantastic place! The host Olga was very welcoming, beautiful ambience and great service . Especially the waiter Marc was very friendly. Got recomended the Orange negroni and o. singleman , very delicious. Had a great time!

Absolutely terrible and over priced Sunday roast. Cold vegetables, under cooked parsnips, no crunch to the roast potatoes and £35 for the displeasure. I was so so disappointed. I ate the beef (what there was of it!) and the Yorkshire pudding. Also note that the beers are not full pints.

Lovely venue and great wine options, would definelty revisit!

Servicio impecable y hospitalidad de Anthony “el francés” simplemente excelente de principio a fin. Una sonrisa toda la noche a pesar de estar tan ocupado, tan conocedor de su menú, solo el mejor servicio personal. 5 estrellas ¡Voy a traer a mis niñas de vuelta por una tarde! Maravilloso

Impeccable service and hospitality from Anthony “the French man” just superb from start to finish. A smile all evening despite being so busy , so knowledgeable about his menu, just the best personal service. 5 stars I’m bringing my girls back for an afternoon! Wonderful

Perfect place for a fancy but cozy and delicious business lunch!

Este hermoso restaurante era un lugar cálido e inusual para celebrar una ocasión especial. Tuvimos el almuerzo establecido que era una buena relación calidad-precio. Muy recomendable!

Very polite staff but not enough of them. I think our waitress had 12 tables. Confusing to find if arriving by Tube, recommend going completely outside, then up into the exterior plaza.

Everything is excellent and the manager was a pleasure to meet. Can't wait to return!!!!

A very Instagram-able venue. The team have maintained the classical architecture with a clean and modern twist. Not a cheap venue but great for a cocktail and catch up

We called in here before catching a train back to the East Midlands. As we hadn't made a booking we were seated at a shared table. The bar/restaurant is very dimly lit. Some might call it atmospheric. A round of 4 alcoholic drinks was approx £60 so it's not cheap. If you have an hour to spare before catching a train it's a nice place to kill an hour plus the toilets are lovely.

This place is truly magical. I love how they’ve transformed the old train booking office into a stunning bar and restaurant. After a long day of shopping, I decided to unwind here, and from the moment I walked in, I was transported into a world of old-school glamour. The hostess was attentive, the waiters were incredibly knowledgeable, and the cocktails—absolutely out of this world. I had the pleasure of meeting the manager, Artan, who made sure every guest was receiving 5-star service. His attention to detail, charisma, and warm personality made me feel like an old friend. Artan recommended a few snacks to accompany my drink, and they were so good that I ended up staying for dinner. I truly didn’t want to leave! Highly recommended! I can’t wait to come back.

I have been here with the family for dinner. The lovely lady at the entrance Gabriela accommodated us even though we didn’t had a booking and were served by a nice waiter called Chai for whom any request was not too much trouble. The restaurant looks fantastic and the food was great but it was the staff that made me want to come back again soon.

This bar/restaurant located next to King's Cross station. You can actually see the train platform from the window seat. I had enjoyed a perfect cocktail with historical details and spacious environment. What a great end for a night in London!

My partner and I had a lovely time in celebrating her birthday at Booking Office 1869. Which was most special for the both us, as it was also the very first place where we had our first date. I'd like to thank the staff and the chef for the high standards of their service, and we look back to returning again in the future with friends and family.

Excellent venue well situated. We enjoyed the 3 course lunch menu which included a glass of fizzy. The smoked chocolate dessert was outstanding. The staff we attentive, very professional and could not be faulted. All in all an absolute pleasure.

Had the best breakfast in the most beautiful dining room in the city! The Service was impeccable, also the staff were very welcoming, especially Julio and Joy who were very friendly and elevated the whole experience. I will definitely recommend!

Food was great, I am not a fan of steaks but they cooked it the way we wanted and to perfection, I think. Rosario, was great and very charming and gave stellar service.

The Booking Office 1869 in London is a visually stunning restaurant with an interior that captures the elegance of Victorian design. However, my recent experience there was far from satisfactory. Despite the promising ambiance, I found myself waiting an excessively long time to be served. Unfortunately, the service was so slow that I eventually decided to leave without having eaten anything. While the decor is undoubtedly impressive, the poor service overshadowed what could have been a delightful dining experience. Improvements in service efficiency are essential to match the grandeur of the setting. I will give this place another chance however when I’m in the local area again.

Vibey place. Doesn’t feel like London. The interior is gorgeous and the food was good

The menu offer some dishes with some interesting ingredients mix, which kinda blends together but leaves a weird but satisfying taste. I think the menu was a bit boring so I was pleasantly surprised that the vegetarian burger I ordered was tasty and delicious, very filling but not to heavy. I HIGHLY commend the Kiwi mousse with citrus and rosemary! Like I said,interesting mixed of flavour that's leaves a weird and satisfying taste. Alex our host/waiter was excellent and knowledgeable, and despite being busy offered a great service. Personally perhaps it was where we were seated but personally it was to dim for me. It's been on my list for a long time as the resturant is part of a iconic hotel that's been featured several times across the different media platform, and pop culture. Check the hotel out.

This most gorgeous period Restaurant, nestled inside the incredible St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel was truly a treat to imbibe and dine in. Our T-Bone for Two was cooked perfectly and our wines were just as good. The highlight of our visit was the amazing ambiance, and the food, but the beautiful service we received from Fi was what made our evening so special.

Kings cross little hidden treasure. A touch of class. Good quality food and the scenery is amazing. It's a 10/10 for me. To the chef your work speaks for itself A1. It's my fourth visit and definitely not my last.

The 3 starters were delightful - hummus, taramasalata, beetroot. My chicken was ok as were the broccoli & potatoes

Celebrating my son’s gcse results and food took 1.5hours to turn up. Very expensive and very slow- overall ruined the experience.

Me and my partner came for a meal to celebrate our anniversary. We had an amazing time, the waiter was fantastic and even organised a little anniversary treat for us. He catered to all our needs, I could not recommend this place enough. The restaurant is beautiful, we had such an amazing time

A very stylish British lunch restaurant, located in a station area. The food is of a high standard. Coupled with its decoration and atmosphere, it makes you feel happy and relaxed. I call it Zuo's medium dry-aged steak, which I think is the best steak in Europe. I also call Zuo's cup London light, which has good MSG. There are not many people and the price is a bit expensive, but they are all worth recommending.

Great food, ambience and service. We celebrated my aunt’s 98th birthday and this was truly the perfect place. Rosario took great care of us. Definitely recommend!

Had a large table of 12 for dinner. It was a client event and more people turned up than expected but they quickly found us a bigger place to sit. Our main waiter was incredibly attentive and made the experience.

Marvellous food, very, very tasty, if somewhat overpriced. There was no consistency to the servers, a different person almost everytime. Though all of them were very polite and conscientious.

Lovely venue and wonderful food — look forward to returning

Very dirty place, mouses on the side coaches.😫😫😫 which I found disgusting to be honest especially if you’re going to eat there. Immagine what rats do during night when place is empty. Awful experience, never going back again.

Exceptional cuisine, I didn't expect to be so won over: everything was delicious, exquisite. A delight. Best restaurant I've had to go to in a long time. The butler is charming. The only disappointment: the music, much too loud. But it is a pollution of our time - music, everywhere, all the time and too loud. Despite everything, it is and will be OUR restaurant in London! Well done !

Really nice venue in a stunning St Pancras to stop off for a sophisticated drink. The Doorman Stephen was especially welcoming with a wonderful warm demeanour and smile

Ohhh my love for this place is unending. Alkida is the most amazing server. This is only place I will start my day & it’s to see her. She’s attentive & her detail to customer service is impeccable. I’ve dined internationally my whole life & never have I felt so cared for than my mornings here at Booking Office. The food is wonderful but it’s the service from the staff that makes this place.

Impressive ambience, stunning architecture and very special surroundings for celebrating special occasions. Food is sub-par, nothing to go back for. Service was very slow. Family had the Sunday roast (no one was impressed, they all had better elsewhere). My beetroot dish was interesting, gem lettuce salad under-dressed.

Nice atmosphere and decor, perfect for a date.

No doubt a very beautiful restaurant by the St Pancras station. Friendly service. Fine dining experience, above average food and the menu has several vegan and vegetarian options. Kid's menu available as well! A great place for special occasions.

A beautiful restaurant. We enjoyed our experience and the service and food were excellent. For us, it is more a special occasion venue as it’s not in our budget for day to day dining. We’d definitely return.

The ambiance of this place is perfect.. Posh and with true, background music, not overpowering --but def upbeat. Cross from late 20s-40s. Whether or not you are passing thru the train station (we did early dinner), you should visit either for drinks or food--which was quite good. Carrot salad, green salad, steak, sea bass. My guest has been there for the Sunday Roast, which was not their favorite, fyi

Food wasn't bad but not differentiated enough from say Fallow or J SHeeky to command the prices they were charging (I get it - location). The cocktails were really good (Industry and Ol Signalman) but it looks forever to get cocktails out unless you were sitting at the bar. We went one night for dinner and drinks and another night for just drinks. The second night, it was impossible to get our waiter to pay attention to us so I had to go up to the hostess to get help. Olga is outstanding, she wants her guests to have a great experience and will do her best to make sure that happens... even if the other staff can't manage it.

The Booking Office is a fantastic location, part of the historically significant Grade I listed St. Pancras International Station. Their web site says ‘Old World European Charm meets the dry wit of London’. This captures the essence of the location. We went for dinner on a July Saturday evening. For main I chose the Chalk stream trout with Caper & raisin puree, cauliflower & radish, opting for the Koffman’s truffle & Parmesan fries with Black truffle, oregano & garlic to accompany. The trout was perfectly cooked, the fries with just the right amount of truffle to taste. For dessert my selection being the Crème Brûlée with a perfect topping of a layer of hardened caramelized sugar. Our waitress was always most attentive. Water offered on arrival whilst we decided what to eat. The food arrived in a timely manner. The atmosphere of the location has a vibrancy of people enjoying themselves in a most relaxed location. The chairs most comfortable. Forbes magazine described the Booking Office 1869 as ‘Majestic’ and it is.

One of the best cocktail bars in London. Sit at the bar for the full experience.

We were meeting at St. Pancras to go on and wanted to have a nice lunch first. We booked in advance and were welcomed at the entrance by a lovely host. We had a lovely table and all the staff were very friendly. The set lunch menu was delicious, starters were a particular highlight as we shared all three. The service could have been a little speedier but I’m being picky. All the food was good, we chose to have a glass of English sparkling wine with our meal also. Overall a great experience.

We made a booking for 6 but ended up with 9 and they were very accommodating of the larger group. Our server was Rosario and he was the absolute BEST!! He took such great care of our group the entire time and he was super personable. He made our experience awesome. The drinks were fantastic and everyone enjoyed their meal. Thank you to the Booking Office 1869 team to Rosario, especially.

What a place, it is spectacular, photos do not do it justice. Such a lovely restaurant, you spend half your meal just looking around in awe. And breakfast? Spectacular. The best full English I've had in London, ever. The service is wonderful too, every single member of staff is exceptional. Can't recommend enough, really.

Cocktails - a lovely afternoon spent sipping cocktails with our girls

Need to go back again to experience food, such grand ambiance!

Having visited the Booking Office frequently for many years, on this visit we discovered the fabulous rooftop terrace. With comfy seating, blankets if you’re cold & sectioned off areas for a cosy feel, it is a little hidden gem. We were looked after very well by Gabriela. The only criticism is that for the price of a ‘spritz’ (Aperol & Campari) at £17 each, I would expect a proper balloon glass full, not a small wine glass. This was a shocking & a bit cheeky. Everywhere else we had visited throughout the day served a regular spritz size. They also only have one type of lager or beer. Apart from the slightly disappointing drinks experience, we had a lovely visit & will certainly return.

Lovely restaurant and bar in the heart of St Pancras hotel and station - great cocktail list, friendly and knowledgeable staff, tasty food

Old school glamour with an outside inside vibe . Quite expensive but it's worth it

The service is amazingZZZzzzzzzz...zzzZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

Great family lunch at booking office. The manger on duty Artan took care of us and kids. Lovely food and ambience. Thank you

Went for cocktails ,service was a bit slow but a lovely place

Service great, drinks tasty. Beautiful venue but food poor, unimaginative basic choices at premium prices. We went for the bites, very small portions and plain.

Food and drinks are okay, environment is very nice. Service is seriously poor… nobody came to serve me after 10 mins sitting. Everything comes in so slowly… I don’t know if it’s racist or something else, however, while I was not served properly, the waitress were joking and having fun with the table next to me where two British gentlemen sit. Btw I’m an asian girl traveling here. When I pay the bill, I saw the 12.5% service charge on bill and I decided to pay less, given the service I received. I asked the waiter what this fee is and if it’s optional, surprisingly, he said it’s mandatory… excuse me? I had more than one dinner in London now and everywhere else they told me it’s optional. I asked again, are you sure it’s mandatory? I think it’s optional… He then changed and said it’s optional. I know I carry all the tourist bags and I don’t look like local, but it’s not the reason to fool me. I ended up still paying 8% for tips showing my gratitude of receiving the food and service, but honestly, this is such a disappointing experience and I would never come here for second visit.

Love the Booking Office The food is delicious Beetroot appetizer-yum The sea bass was cooked perfectly

Restaurant inside the Renaissance Hotel. Interior is impressive with high ceilings & palm trees. Big & delicious servings of roast beef, chicken, and sides. The potatoes need more roasting. It could be crispier. Celebrated hubby's birthday and they surprised him with a plated happy birthday greeting & macaroons. So sweet. Thank you Booking Office!

I was in the Booking Office restaurant for my Birthday last month. Great atmosphere, beautiful interiors, great drinks. Olga and Adriana were really lovely and arranged a little Birthday surprise dessert for me which was so nice of them!

We had drinks in the outside area for a bday gathering. It had great views and is a nice hidden gem. The prices are high but its worth visiting.

Good drinks. Staff is just a bit inattentive. A wobbly stool next to the bar is just beyond my understanding. Replace it please or remove until you buy a new one but don’t let people use it.

Visited here for an after work drink. Great atmosphere and lovely building. Drinks on the expensive side, and service was a little slow at bringing the drinks - but will likely be back.

Exceptional! A nice hidden gem in the hustle and bustle of St. Pancras. It’s a little pricey, but worth it. Great place for cocktails. Wonderful cocktail menu!

Ambience is amazing. Food was really good. We had the steak tartar which was excellent. Had the pea tortellini, creste di Gallo, and steak Diane. They were all delicious. The drinks were very pricey for what you got. Service was great too. We went earlier at 6:15 so it wasn’t as busy. Would definitely consider going back when we go back to the UK.

I had an hour to kill before my train at Kings Cross, and the surroundings are lovely and it’s a peaceful haven, lifting you out of busy station life and offering calm me time. The prices are high, but it’s worth it for the beautiful ambience and the peace it gives. I hadn’t booked, but the staff found me a table in the cafe. I’ll book next time and will make this my regular waiting room!

The staff were attentive and knowledgeable. The meal was very good and the atmosphere was quirky. I have eaten there many times over the years and it is yet to disappoint.

A respectable roast dinner, in an elegant and grand setting. Not sure it's worth £35 in my view, though service was good and we didn't struggle for attention. Beer selection pretty ordinary.

My wife and I went to Booking Office 1869 for Sunday Roast recently. We go to church close by the location and it was our first time to visit. It was an outstanding experience. The best thing was the service. So friendly and attentive. The second best thing is the atmosphere. The third best thing was the food. Highly recommend the beef roast. They forgot about the Yorkshire pudding so they brought us two instead of one. My wife had the pasta dish and was very tasty. Large wine list and cocktail menu. Overall great experience and we will be back. Highly recommend.

Nice refuge from the hustle and bustle of the station

This is probably one of the most instagrammable restaurants I have been - perfect atmosphere for a special occasion date. Food was okay - not magnificent but I suspect not a lot of people, if any, go for food itself.

We booked a Sunday roast and we weren't disappointed. I had the chicken and my husband the beef. Everything was very tasty and yummy. The atmosphere and decoration is very impressive and Instagram worthy. Very beautiful and fancy. Though, I thought the price of the Sunday roast was quite expensive for what it was. It is more for big occasion.

Nice place, good food! Nice staff.

A brilliant spot for a martini. Once of the best Gibsons I’ve had ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was our first Sunday Roast and we wanted it to be in a special place. We chose the Booking Office 1869, located inside the Renaissance Hotel since 2021, that is inside the St Pancras Station, for its ambiance and charm. High ceilings, predominance of wood and plants, and old furniture inspired decoration, make it also a time travel, but with gorgeous taste. In terms of menu, they do get the classics, but you'll find a modern influence as well, specially in terms of starters. We tried the Sunday Roast: - 30 day dry aged sirloin, with horseradish cream - roasted corn fed chicken, with sourdough bread sauce Both of high quality and great selection of meat. I believe I was more surprised by the chicken - very tasty, crispy, and juicy. Both dishes were served with braised red cabbage, perfectly roasted potatoes, carrots and parnship (which were my personal favourite) and yorkshire pudding. If you're looking for a sunday roast outside of the most common routes of the pubs, this might be a great idea. Price - £43/per person (Sunday roast + sparkling water, no desert, no starters)
