LNER London King’s Cross first class lounge to undergo refurbishment

As part of our ongoing commitment to improve station facilities along the route, the First Class Lounge at London King’s Cross Station will undergo a major transformation to provide an even more comfortable and welcoming space.

While we make these exciting changes, the lounge will unfortunately be closed from Monday 26 January until Spring 2026. We apologise for any inconvenience caused if you are planning to travel between that period.

Our London King’s Cross lounge welcomes hundreds of customers every day. Our redesign has been developed in conjunction with customer feedback to make sure it provides the perfect environment to start your journey, whether for business or leisure.

The redesign will create additional seating capacity and dedicated zones for working, offering more flexibility and privacy. Other improvements include additional luggage and pushchair storage areas, heritage-inspired décor and a relocation of the existing refreshments area to open more space.

The lounge will reopen in Spring 2026 after the refurbishment is complete. We will keep stakeholders updated on progress, including information of the reopening date closer to the time, and look forward to inviting customers and stakeholders to enjoy the refreshed space.
