Central Station is a gay pub in King's Cross with a stage, a pool table, a kitchen and a wine list that runs from white and red through rosé to champagne. It keeps hotel rooms above, booked by telephone or email.

The week has a shape of its own: karaoke with DJ Chris Reardon every Friday and Saturday evening, free entry; a performance from Shar Cooterie on the first Wednesday of the month; a Eurovision song contest quiz called Douze Points on the second Thursday; free pool on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays; and the Gay Gamers meeting there regularly.

It opens every day, from midday at the start of the week and from one in the afternoon at weekends, running to midnight and to 1am on Friday and Saturday nights.
