St Pancras Station
Description:
This train station is in central London, northeast of the British Library and west of nearby Kings Cross Station. The station got its name in honor of the nearby church of St. Pancratius. Built between 1865 and 68 by architect William Henry Burlow, the station is one of the most striking examples of English neo-Gothic architecture of the Victorian period. Its walls with towers of red brick are covered with a huge glass roof, under which there are aprons, a 100-meter bar, a farmers' market, restaurants and shops, hotels.
