St. Pancras is what arriving is all about - well done to those developer guys as we emerged off the train and headed towards the Arcade the words "wow" came from my daughter (6) followed by "this is amazing." We have been here before but this is the magnetude that arriving here has. Incidently we travelled ... Read the complete review

Coming from Sheffield, St Pancras is our London station when we visit the capital (usually for the football - we're Sheffield United fans). The first thing you notice about St Pancras is its sheer size - it is absolutely massive! And boy is it grand... a lovely Victorian building on the outside with fantastic modern facilities on the ...

St Pancras Station. Yes I love the exterior, the grand Victorian station building is magnificent, but the inside.... That's another matter, a parade of overpriced tourist orientated shops, overpriced food and drink outlets, the Eurostar departures and arrivals and......not much else. Apart from East Midlands Trains, running naturally to ... Read the complete review

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 ... Read the complete review

St Pancras Station is a study in contradictions. It overshadows its neighbour King’s Cross Station, but is far less busy. Its other neighbour, the modern British library, looks less incongruous than might be expected as it is built with bricks from the same source as those used for St Pancras. The building most people call St ... Read the complete review

St Pancras has been likened to a cathedral. If you have ever walked down Euston Road and seen the station – the hotel façade is the first thing to hit you – it’s an architectural marvel. The station was built in 1868 by the Midland Railway Company (MR) to announce their grand entrance into London. It would have ... Read the complete review

Travelling to London recently, my train arrived into, and left from St Pancras Station. This is one of London's largest stations, and a lot of trains from all over the country end up arriving here. Arriving at Pancras was painless - it's a huge high arched ceilinged building, and walking out of it you find yourself near Kings ... Read the complete review
