THE BUILDING
A council office turned hotel
The building opened in the 1970s as an annex to Camden Town Hall, across the road. It was rebuilt as The Standard and opened in 2019. The concrete outside was kept, and the red lift was added up the front.
STAYING HERE
Ask for a view of the stations
Rooms on the higher floors look over St Pancras and King’s Cross. The rooftop bar gets busy at weekends, so book a table if you want one. For the Eurostar, it’s about three minutes across the road.
