Advantages: clean

Disadvantages: queue for loos

The station has been transformed. I always thought of St Pancras as a breathtakingly beautiful building, even in its grubby days, but now it has been cleaned up, it is stunning. No wonder Harry Potter films are actually filmed here rather than at dreary King's Cross. Much has been said about the blue arches, but that does not detract from the cleaness and the airiness and spacious feel. From a (female) traveller's point of view, the place is spotless, including, most importantly, the toilets, though I always have to queue, so maybe they missed a trick there and have not provided enough. Directions to tubes, taxis, buses etc are clearly signposted. There er plenty of places to get newspapers/ refreshments prior to your journey, and plenty of places to sit if you are willing to pay for a coffee. Interesting variety of shops, but I am never in a position to have time to just browse. They've done a lovely job of renovating a beautiful building.

Summary: Great renovation job
