The Standard, King's Cross
The Standard is pure disco. In the metaphorical sense, of course, but almost literally, too – if Paul Thomas Anderson ever wanted to shoot a follow-up to Boogie Nights, he’d be well catered for by the Kings Cross hotel’s neo-Seventies decor and strictly laid-back vibe. some of this can be put down to DNA extracted from The Standard’s now-defunct sister hotel on LA’s Sunset Strip, but the group’s WC1 edition more than carries the torch in 2022. Start at Sweeties, the tenth-floor cocktail
Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
