The Lighterman Pub, dining room & bar on Granary Square, King's Cross. All-day drinking & dining with three floors
(2511)

The Lighterman is 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 dining and drinking.

Ten years on the canal and we celebrated the only way we know how, with a proper party.

DJ Live Band had the whole place moving, Akshay Badiani (yes, the Britain’s Got Talent magician) worked his way through the crowd leaving jaws on the floor, and Good Empire’s engraving station meant everyone left with something to remember the night by.

Our newly launched margaritas made their debut, poured all night alongside a canape selection that simply never stopped coming.

A decade of pints, sunsets and canal views. None of it happens without you.

Celebrating a 10 year streak of making people miss their train.

We opened our doors in 2016, it’s been the place where friends meet, families gather, deals are done, birthdays are celebrated, first dates return for engagements, some have survived questionable hangovers & we’ve made enough memories to fill regents canal.

Without you, we couldn’t claim to be the most iconic pub & dining room in Kings Cross.

To everyone who’s pulled up a chair, raised a glass, or made The Lighterman part of their story, thank you!

The last 10 years didn’t happen by accident, a very special thank you to:
