A Visit to St Pancras

I hadn't visited St Pancras Station since the arrival of Eurostar, and what a transformation! It is well worth a visit, if only to stare at the vast engine shed roof. I was fortunate enough to visit in the early evening so the darkness of the sky somehow made the whole enormous area somehow more intimate. On the other hand it must be magnificent when the sun is shining through the great glass expanse, and glistening upon the sleek lines of the Eurostar trains slumbering beneath. And oh! The Statues - how marvellous they both are. Sir John, lifesize and appropriately staring at the ceiling of the building he did so much to save. The couple in an embrace of greeting or departure under the vast station clock. I love it - go and see it for yourself, this wonderful gateway to the capital.
