The Lighterman

Welcome to The Lighterman, a pub, dining room and bar on Granary Square, King’s Cross.
Our name is inspired by the industrial past of King’s Cross, and the Victorian Lightermen who worked on flat-bottomed barges, known as “Lighters”, on the canals and rivers of London. With three floors offering stunning views across Granary Square and the Regent’s Canal, The Lighterman is a place to relax and enjoy all-day drinking and dining.

The Lighterman offers three floors of all-day drinking and dining, with one-of-a-kind terraces overlooking Granary Square and Regent’s Canal. Opening onto the square, the Ground Floor (dog friendly!) serves everything from a casual lunch through to evening cocktails, whilst the First Floor Dining Room offers a more formal space for dining and drinking. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls offer panoramic views across King’s Cross and for those wanting to get a better look of the surrounding area, the wraparound terrace has extensive seating which guests can enjoy year-round. Located on the tranquil Regent’s Canal, the Canalside Bar & Terrace is an idyllic waterside spot for casual drinks and dining.
