About us

Located in the stunning St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel , The Hansom once provided the cobbled driveway of the original St Pancras Station, this Victorian heritage and backstory lends character and style in todays offering.

Lying in the heart of King's Cross, fun-loving locals and travelers alike are invited to the city's latest cocktail bar and all-day hub, The Hansom. The spirited bar seamlessly blends a modern aesthetic with its magnificent neo-gothic architecture, and transforms from a laid-back hangout by day, to a social bar at night showcasing world-class cocktails inspired by the hotel's Victorian roots.

Designed by Space Copenhagen architects, The Hansom features a centralised bar elegantly crafted in marble with darkened brass and leather detailing, surrounded by modern furnishings blending with Victorian lampposts and a soothing palette of gentle greens and purple. Maintaining its renowned high vaulted ceilings with Barlow Blue ironwork and tall windows, the bright space is intimately broken up with sculpted screens.

The menu, curated by The Hansom's mixologists, champions expertly crafted cocktails. In a nod to its heritage as the original Hansom Cab drop-off for King's Cross Station passengers in the 1800s, each serve draws on the Victorian era's indulgent side, inspired by a poignant moment, figure, text or tradition.
