Central Station is a long-running gay bar near King’s Cross, known for its relaxed pub feel mixed with a cruisier late-night side.
The ground floor operates like a traditional bar, with pints, wines and pub snacks served to a friendly mix of locals, regulars and visitors. It’s casual in the early evening, making it an easy spot to start a night out.
Upstairs you’ll find a small performance space that often hosts cabaret, karaoke and themed events.
Downstairs, the basement transforms into a darker cruise area for those in the mood for something spicier. This mix of pub, cabaret and cruising makes Central Station stand out in London’s gay scene.
The crowd is varied, spanning ages and backgrounds, and the vibe is straightforward, social and unpretentious. Located close to transport links, it’s convenient to reach and offers something different from the polished Soho bars.
