St Pancras is termed as the "Cathedral of the railways" and includes two of the most celebrated structures built in Britain. The main trainshed (completed 1868), was the largest single-span structure built up to that time.

It will will accommodate Eurostar trains when the station becomes the London terminus of Channel Tunnel Rail Link on 14 November 2007. But we'll surely talk about this event in the Blog....
