About St. Pancras

St. Pancras International Station, or simply Saint Pancras, is a central railway station located next to King's Cross Station on Euston Road in Camden, a borough of London. The railway terminal is a major gateway to Europe and serves as the home base for Eurostar, a high-speed railway service that connects London to other major cities in Europe such as Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Lyon, Rotterdam, and more. The station also serves other train companies such as East Midlands Railway, Thameslink, and Southeastern. 

The station was named after the neighborhood of the same name (which was named after St. Pancras, the patron saint of children) and was built by the Midland Railway. St. Pancras began operations on October 1, 1868. In 2001, the station was closed for renovations, and eventually reopened in 2007 after going through an £800-million renovation and was officially named St. Pancras International Station. The redevelopment involved a restoration of the Victorian-era design as well as the addition of hospitality and retail areas. 

At present, St. Pancras serves not only as an entry point to London but also as one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. The station welcomes over 45 million passengers annually. 

Fun fact: The famous Yamaha piano found within the station was donated by Elton John after his impromptu public performance at St. Pancras in February 2016. Since then, it is open for use by anyone and has been played by some well-known personalities such as John Legend and Jools Holland.
