The Champagne Bar

My friend suggested we meet for at St Pancras before heading out to eat as his train arrived at this station. When I arrived to meet him at the statue of the lovers I saw him dangling 2 glasses of bubbly over the banister calling my name. As it turned out there was a glass of champagne with my name on.

All be it the longest champagne bar in Europe at 96metres you will still struggle to get a seat in one of the booths. Maybe this is because its a new bustling venue but all 110 seats were filled & many were standing around sipping the good stuff. There are many types of champagne available, with a equally varied price range from £7.50 a glass of Jean Paul Deville Carte Noire NV (£39.50 a bottle) to an extravagent bottle of Balthazar at £1,100.

The leather seated booths are heated giving comfort to your derrier in this hall like draughty enviroment, however a point to note is the button to heat both opposing seats is only on one side so snuggling up on one seat may leave you out in the cold. Also the toilets are located on the lower floor a fair walk if you have had a couple.
