| General Description | St Pancras railway station is a central London railway terminus celebrated for its Victorian architecture. It stands on Euston Road in St Pancras, London, between the British Library, King's Cross station and the Regent's Canal. It was opened in 1868 by the Midland Railway. When it opened, the arched Barlow train shed was the largest single-span roof in the world. After escaping planned demolition in the 1960s, the complex was renovated and expanded during the 2000s at a cost of £800 million with a ceremony attended by the Queen and extensive publicity introducing it as a public space. The redeveloped terminus has been described as "the world's most wonderful railway station”. Although Platform 9 ¾ in the Harry Potter films is in King’s Cross, the exterior of “King’s Cross” is actually St. Pancras. |
