The Gothic station and Eurostar. The hotel front and the statue, then the Library or King's Cross. Next is British Library — do not also stack Windsor Castle the same day.
Analysis
Split the exterior of St Pancras Station from the interior. The station is open all day. Security queues start outside the door; wear flats. On a day the exterior is free, do not buy the interior just for a photo. Leave via King's Cross St Pancras.
Best time
When a Eurostar is due
How to go
The same complex as King's Cross
Transit
At King's Cross St Pancras for St Pancras Station, match the street name before you walk. With luggage, do not change at a deep-stair station. Keep one train before the last one back to the hotel.
Season window
Guard changes, ceremonies and public holidays close roads around St Pancras Station. Summer noon glare is harsh; winter dusk is early — take the exterior in the morning.
Tips
- · Tickets: The concourse is free. Plan about 25 minutes.
- · The clock and the meeting statue sit under the hotel
- · Large liquids fail security at St Pancras Station. Coach parties take the pavement; walk in from the side street.
