St Pancras

Ok, St. Pancras is just a train station, but it really is stunning! Therefore this small post is justified. It is grade 1 listed building, which was opened in 1868.

The station was expanded and renovated from 2001- 2007 at the cost of £800 million

St. Pancras is known as the 'cathedral of the railways'.

This 20 ton statue is called The Meeting Place and was designed by Paul Day. I remember it was controversial when it was first unveiled, people thought it was vulgar, but personally I love it.
