Overview

The Lighthouse is a mixed-use building on the corner of 285-297 Pentonville Road and 372-380 Gray's Inn Road in London WC1.

The site is situated opposite the entrance to Kings Cross St Pancras Station.

Completed in 2016, the building provides 17,000 sq ft of Grade A offices.

The building got its name from the distinctive lighthouse structure on its roof which is thought to be a legacy of its Victorian past when the ground floor was occupied by Netten’s oyster bar. The local legend is that when fresh oysters arrived the Lighthouse beacon was turned on.[1]
