St Pancras  by happypat

St Pancras

Until we drove past in a taxi last week I knew nothing about St. Pancras railway station. I even thought it was spelt St. Pancreas! I knew it was the station you travelled to France from, had no idea it was so near my usual arrival station of Euston or anywhere near Kings Cross.

Such a beautiful archeological building & one of the great stations of the world. Next time I shall explore inside!

Taken from the taxi window so it could be a better angle!

Three good things:
1. Wikipedia for learning new things.
2. I have been to my friends mothers funeral today but it's tomorrow! Means I have sussed the way & the parking out! How many times have I got the wrong day for stuff! I never learn!
3. I am going to be a great aunt again in November.
It's a great station. Sneak preview of inside here:-

This is the station we travel to/from. Lovely shopping parade downstairs. We've eaten a few macdonalds on the top floor waiting for our train home now!!

Such a wonderful looking building and like you I also thought it was spelt St Pancreas , and when I 1st heard of S Pancras I thought it was a hospital with a name like that !!!! ( it has that kind of look somehow !!) Ooh well we can not know everything and we are never too old to learn !

You know I always thought it was called St Pancreas! Just like you! Guess I know too many parts of the body! It looks old and quite magnificent!
