Description
A 3 bedroom Gothic fantasy of bricks and spires
Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the Natural History Museum – all are visual icons of London, built by Victorians whose aspirations knew no boundaries - but those are not for rent. With them sits St Pancras Chambers, a gothic fantasy of bricks and spires. The building, designated as a national historic landmark (Grade 1 listed) incorporates the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel (5 star Marriott), St Pancras Chambers (private apartments such as this) and Kings Cross St Pancras underground and train station below - the most interconnected train hub in London (6 tube lines inc direct access to Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton airports plus direct trains to Edinburgh, Paris and Brussels!) LOCATION: On the edge of fashionable Bloomsbury and well connected by underground, it is the perfect hub from which to explore London's sights. Restaurants, pubs and shops can be found in abundance both in the building and adjacent hotel as well as the general vicinity. The perfect base to explore all that London has to offer. THE APARTMENT: This apartment is on the top two floors of St Pancras Chambers. Residents also have access to hotel facilities at additional cost (inc Spa, Pool and Gym) The apartment is over the 4th and 5th floors of the building. There are two guest double bedrooms on the 4th floor (one ensuite) and third mezzanine room above the living room which is typically used as a third bedroom (it has 2 foldout single sofa beds which can be put side by side for a double). If not needed as a third bedroom, the mezzanine has also in the past been used as a reading room or as a kids play area (we have plenty of board games and puzzles). We have 2 further foldout mattresses and one travel cot available on request. These can be placed in either bedroom. The 5th floor area is an open plan Kitchen/Living Room. BEFORE REQUESTING A BOOKING, PLEASE READ THIS: Please remember, this is not a business. We are welcoming you into our own home.

What our customers say
The location was very good with the underground right below the apartment, it was so easy to get everywhere. Pubs, pizzerias and even Starbucks right across the street. The apartment itself was very nice. Heated bathroom floors, windows that kept out the street noise, quiet building, wonderful beds. A real treat was opening the closet doors and finding lots of hangers. The dryer almost dried the clothes which is a rare feat for a European dryer. Having all the manuals for every appliance was very nice. The apartment is well organized, very modern and comfortable. We were 4 adults and 3 teenagers and the apartment suited us well. Having the security of a 24 hour staffed desk was reassuring. We would definitely stay there again. The apartment was also well stocked with soap, toilet paper, detergent, etc.
This is a one of a kind property in a beautiful historic building. The apartment is amazing and feels bigger than its actual size. It's both modern and rustic, and nicely appointed. There were 7 of us and we didn't feel at all crowded. Kitchen and bathroom are modern and well stocked. Nice touches like stocked coffees and teas, board games, books on the historical nature of the building and even Oyster (transit) cards to use, which normally come at a cost.
The building itself is unbelievable from an architectural standpoint. It's shared with a major hotel and on top of several Underground lines and the Eurostar to Paris. Even if you don't use public transit (we did every day), having all the shops, included a M&S downstairs is so convenient. We had an early morning train to Paris one day and we literally rolled out of bed and went downstairs. So convenient.
The owner was very easy to work with and left good clear instructions. Checking in was a breeze. The only issue we encountered was that the wifi was a bit slow. Having said that, we had 7 iphones, a few ipads, and 3 laptops among us, so that probably would have been true almost anywhere.
This is definitely a place I would stay at again. A great experience.
This apartment is just ideal for anyone taking a break in London . Great location in a stunning building and immaculately presented - it ticked every box.There is nothing that the hosts haven't thought of. The beds were so comfortable - even the convert able beds on the mezzanine scored 10/10 . We travelled by train to Euston and within 10 minutes of arrival were settled in the apartment with a fresh coffee! The tassimo was a lovely touch . Yaz was a great host and very accommodating regarding checking in and out and prompt to answer my pre holiday queries. He even rang from his own holiday in New York to help us sort a minor issue with the electronic skylight blinds. I call that service.
We found the Sonos music system amazing -my young nieces loved it ! The flat has everything you need for a break -we managed a game of scrabble too! Travelling around London was great with Uber taxis and very reasonable . We had my mother in a wheelchair so this was easier as we got 6 in a taxi and had door to door service ! Found top class kebab restaurant "Le Bab "in Kingly Court off Regent St. Great food ,top service and very reasonably priced .
We will certainly be back and recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a family break .
We loved our stay at St Pancreas. The location was fantastic. Central to everything and easy to come and go from. The hotel concierge was extremely helpful in guiding us in whatever direction we were headed. The staff at the front desk was wonderfully polite and helpful as well.
We loved the unit. It was a comfortable, clean, great place to come him to after a long day of playing tourist. There are some wonderful Restaurants very close by , so getting a tasty dinner was always in our reach.
Yaz was very responsive with any of my concerns.
Overall I would highly recommend this flat to anyone looking to stay in London.
This apartment has it all. Firstly, Yaz the owner is contactable - if needed - and access is easy, backed up with 24hr concierge. The apartment is very well appointed with all appliances. There are pantry supplies to get you started inc fresh fruit, rooms are spacious, beds are comfy with quality linen and the two bathrooms supply lovely hot water and toiletries.
St Pancras a terrific train hub will take you anywhere underground or overground and its easy to pop back home with shopping bags or put your feet up before heading out to see more sights. Its so peaceful indoors yet just a few steps away you will find Pubs, Shops, Restaurants etc and of course transport. Our family have stayed here before and the standard is always consistent - its hard to look further after experiencing apartment 521! Thanks Yaz.
We rented this apartment for two nights over a Bank Holiday weekend and the owners could not have been more helpful.
Upon arrival the gentlemen on reception were very helpful and over the weekend became familiar, friendly faces. The location could not have been better, with great transport links and a number of grocery shops nearby. As we were a large group, Yaz had arranged for the spare beds to be made up for our arrival, which allowed us to start enjoying the property straight away. He also gave us some useful information about the spa in the hotel - this along with the detailed information folder helped us greatly. The apartment was really clean and comfortable and I would certainly visit again.
The property was inspiring. Very clean, amazing design, historical, excellent location, spacious, fantastic amenities. Highly recommend. Book ASAP, it was best accommodation in our 6 week family holiday.
We stayed in this beautiful unit in August 2016 for a small international family gathering. Its location is unbeatable, providing very easy access to all of London and some out of town day trips. The building is a work of art. The front desk staff is very helpful. The owner Yaz and his partner are very quick to return messages. The King's Cross area is very lively during the summer. We enjoyed early morning runs/walks by the Regent's Canal. All in all, an excellent choice and we hope to return for future London trips. Thank you!
Loved the location of this apartment. Great to be able to take advantage of the hotel amenities and its location while still having a home base with it's own kitchen and living room. Great place to relax and play board games with your family. Great jumping off place for your London adventures.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great apartment. 4 adults, 3 children on a visit to London to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Apartment in a great location for tube and main line stations, well equipped and very comfortable. Appreciated welcome pack on arrival. Would not hesitate to stay again - highly recommended
The good bits: the owner's rep was responsive and everything was in order for our arrival. The book provided regarding the apartment is very useful and addresses most questions. The building is one of our favorites in London and offers convenience for those taking advantage of Eurostar to Paris and other public transit. The access to the neighboring hotel and the various shops and amenities of the St. Pancras station is a distinct advantage over other properties. Porters at The Cambers (available 24 hours a day) were friendly and helpful when we needed them. The apartment itself is relatively large for London and the two bedrooms on the first level (4th floor) are spacious and the bathrooms are well appointed. The living/dining area is on the second level (5th floor) and the kitchen is exactly what you'd need for a holiday stay (including a very generous supply of coffee pods).
The less than stellar bits: the apartment needs some care and maintenance - carpet is loose and rolled up in a few places, two lights were out (with electrical cords hanging out) and the mattresses have some nasty stains. There is a mix of owners property in various closets (including clothing etc) - fine for a lower end apartment but not something you'd expect to see at a higher end place like this. The washing machine is small and the dryer function does not really do the job (best to use the Zipjet laundry service recommended in the book). The loft (aka third bedroom) is open to the kitchen and living area - ok if those intending to sleep there are last to go to bed but if not, you'll need to plan to have them sleep elsewhere or spend your evenings in one of the lower bedrooms.
While we enjoyed our time there, we will be staying elsewhere the next time we're in London. Perhaps our expectations were too high based on the location and rate.
Excellent London flat. The access to all the major tube lines and the Eurostar is a huge plus. And I cannot say enough about working with Ben and the management team. Very responsive and attentive. Even going above and beyond and assisting me when Ihad ordered tickets to a soccer match. Great stay.
