A Victorian masterpiece, the former Midland Grand Hotel, now restored to its full glory as a five star hotel, is extravagantly romantic and breathtakingly beautiful, a sheer red brick fantasy.
Richard Day's bronze statue The Meeting Place is enticingly suggestive: are they parting or are they reuniting? The tenderness is palpable. A fitting statue at the entrance to the Eurostar terminal.
John Betjeman's statue stands proud under the railway arches, with the Olympic 2012 rings and the famous St Pancras International clock in the background. JB, a famous poet and a railway enthusiast, was instrumental in saving St Pancras from demolition in the 1960's. Such a visionary.
Hi, welcome to my mini travelogue. I love photography - it's my way of seeing the world, and it's a way of recording a snapshot which, if stored in human memory, will decay in time. I alternate between my Canon G10 and Lumix DMC-TZ7, but often I rely on my handy Sony Ericsson mobile phone. I have had a lot of fun taking photos during my travels, learning to improve my skills, and doing this blog. I hope you share the fun.
