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

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.
