St Pancras Railway Station Complex

St Pancras 2016/ Geoff Sutton



St Pancras Railway Station opened 1 October 1868

The Gothic Revival Architecture is an eye-catcher--no wonder it is featured in many photos of London.

Since 2007, it has been known as St Pancras International and it is on Euston Road in the London Borough of Camden. It is the London home of the Eurostar and it is close to King's Cross Station.

In addition to the Eurostar trains to Europe, there are three other main lines and several underground connections.

In the mid 1700s, St Pancras was a small village with a church. The parish was named for Saint Pancras who was a Christian convert at age 14 and beheaded on the order of Diocletian in 304 CE. He is the patron saint of children.
