Arch

On my way to visit Louise, I passed through London, arriving at Kings Cross railway station and leaving again from Marylebone railway station.

I couldn't resist calling in at St Pancras railway station too - a station that I remember as always looking rather sad and neglected, but which has been transformed by it's renovation to become home to Eurostar services to France, which was completed in 2007. The neighbouring hotel has been transformed too.

Here, what used to be one of the main entrances to the station is now a quiet corner, so it was a good opportunity to get a shot of the arch without a cluster of people. I love the gothic architecture and the mixed colours of brick.

Good composition. It's interesting this corner is always quiet when the rest of the station is so busy.

Thank you Frank - this building may not be in quite the same class as Lucy's shot of the Sacré-Coeur, but it is one of my favourite railway stations!
