Beautifully restored and brimming with 5-star luxury, the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London provides a truly unforgettable experience. Behind the fairytale façade that Sir George Gilbert Scott fashioned for the Midland Grand lies a hotel that will exceed your every expectation, blending Victorian splendor

with modern style and service.

First time I step into the area...

A security-sealed terminal area was constructed for Eurostar services to continental Europe via High Speed 1 and the Channel Tunnel, with platforms for domestic trains to the north and south-east of England. The restored station has 15 platforms, a shopping centre and a coach facility, and is served by London Underground's King's Cross St. Pancras station. St Pancras is owned by HS1 and is managed by Network Rail (High Speed), a subsidiary of Network Rail.

King's Cross railway station is a major London railway terminus

which opened in 1852 on the northern edge of central London.

King's Cross Station is considered one of the main train stations to serve London, England.

To get to Platform 9 3/4, you run straight at the wall between 9 and 10. It also serves as a major intercity and commuter rail hub for Muggles going to North London or Yorkshire and the North East and Scotland.
