Dine in style

The elegant, laid-back design of critically-acclaimed Isla provides the perfect setting for its outstanding food. The recently revamped menu draws inspiration from around the world, with a focus on seafood and light, flavourful dishes, plus plenty of tasty vegetarian options. 

Expect small sharing plates like ‘nduja and sweet potato, and aged feta with sesame; plus mains such as lemon sole with seaweed butter, miso aubergine and beef sirloin. Ordering dessert is a must: who could resist brown butter ice cream with berries or poached pineapple with bread ice cream?

The space leads into Double Standard, a fun bar with pub-style small plates in the evening and breakfast classics in the morning. Whether you prefer pastries, avocado on toast, fluffy pancakes or a full English, there’s something for everyone.

A relaxed stay

Housed in a 1970s Brutalist building, The Standard, London overlooks London’s King’s Cross and pays homage to its roots with quirky and stylish décor throughout its 266 rooms. Despite being in the centre of the capital, the hotel offers a welcome respite to the buzzing city, where guests can get a peaceful, quiet night’s sleep.

Whether people opt for the petite Cosy Core rooms or more spacious suites, all bedrooms feature comfy beds with fancy Italian sheets and fluffy down pillows. Plus there are all the top amenities you could wish for like Bang & Olufsen Bluetooth speakers, custom robes, luxury toiletries and fully-stocked minibars.
