For a station this is not your typical experience. Recently refurbished and now the terminus for the Eurostar this station is an experience in itself. It has lots of designer shops, a champagne bar and a glorious glass roof that just lifts the station well beyond any of its 'rivals'.

Some of the domestic lines from the Midlands run to this station as well and it a far more pleasant destination than most of the London mainline stations.

Even if you have no need to travel from here it is worth a look to see what is, in itself, quite a work of art bringing both the old and the new together.

This has recently been refurbished and it is now much better. It's bigger, brighter, cleaner, fresher and newer and has new things. It now has the Eurostar which starts from here and goes all the way to Paris.

Now its has even more shops in now amongst all the coffee shops as well and there are restaurants as well. Amongst the many shops they have are ones you may find on Oxford Street or Regents Street like Hamleys, though these shops are much smaller than the main shops in the city; also a Monsoon shop with women's and children's clothing and a big Boots, a lot of new shops and very big too.

This is all inviting and welcoming to anyone into London.

With many lines they also travel in both directions so you can go to more places in the UK and beyond into Europe from here.

The modernisation was in place with the building working around passengers using this rail station and now that all the building work is finished all these results and more can be seen and used and its very impressive, they have pulled off quite the renovation of this station and combines the past, present and future on a huge scale for all and everyone that uses this major artery into and out of the capital.

For the arrival and departure boards they are more spaced out so you do not get as much crowding around a main board as in other train stations. There are six underground stations that interchange here and this is shared with Kings Cross, so you often hear on the tube on entering the station "Kings Cross St Pancreas". Three services run from here, Eurostar, First Capital Connect and East Midlands Trains.
