Euston, St. Pancras and King's Cross. St. Pancras International recently became the main Eurostar Terminus station for trains under the English Channel to France, Belgium and beyond. In the expensive makeover, the mothballed hotel at the front of St. Pancras station was bought and is currently being converted into flats and a 5* Marriott Hotel. It was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, and completed in 1876. It features 60 million bricks and 9,000 tons of ironwork. It ceased being a hotel in 1935, being too expensive to maintain. It became railway offices until the 1980s, when it failed it's fire certificate and laid bare until now, with the exception of a Spice Girls video. I went in recently with Speed, and was keen to see some of the original decor preserved there. I wasn't disappointed, although a lot of the place is covered in scaffold and boarding while renovation takes place The Hotel from the front Exterior mosaic & relief Exterior sculpture Top of the main stairs crest Paintings at top of stairs dome Main Hallway - 1st Floor Floor tiling - Ground Floor Building layout View of Eurostar trains from a hotel room window - Great place for wealthy trainspotters to stay Staff stairs off main hallway [last edit 2/5/2010 12:40 AM by Guerrillaexplorer066 - edited 2 times] Website FB Kuroneko  Location: Tokyo Gender: Male  |  Re: St. Pancras Chambers, London UK <Reply # 1 on 2/7/2010 8:30 AM >   Posted by bukowski_jr with the exception of a Spice Girls video. Wow. I had coffee where the Back Street Boys filmed a music video too. Perhaps we can start a new thread? 'Inane Music Video Locations'? Great location regardless!
