St Pancras International

The regenerated St Pancras looks like the kind of place that could transport you forward or backward in time (and that’s without using platform 9¾). Now extended to accommodate the high-speed Eurostar link, the glass-panelled structure is a marvel to behold - as the awestruck pose on the station’s sculpture of poet John Betjeman (who saved the station in the 1960s) testifies. And there’s nowhere cooler or more romantic to meet than under the restored station clock.
