Full description

St Pancras International combines William Barlow's soaring 1868 iron-and-glass train shed with George Gilbert Scott's red-brick Gothic Revival former hotel facade, a pairing that survived a mid-20th-century demolition threat and was restored into today's Eurostar terminal for trains to Paris and Brussels. Reviewers with a 4.4 rating routinely call it one of the most beautiful railway stations they've seen, citing the Meeting Place statue of two lovers embracing and the champagne bar along the platform as details worth a look even if you're not catching a train.

Its free entry and short duration make it an easy add-on for anyone already near King's Cross, including travellers en route to the continent.
