St Pancras Railway Station

　　St Pancras Railway Station, also known as St Pancras International Railway Station, is a major railway station located in the St Pancras area of London, situated between the British Library and King's Cross Station. It was originally opened in 1868 by the Midland Railway. The station is often referred to as the "cathedral of the railways" due to its two notable Victorian-era buildings.

　　The station’s main train shed was built in 1868 by engineer William Henry Barlow and was the largest single-span structure of its time. St Pancras Station is laid out in a long, north-south rectangular shape. As the UK terminus for the Eurostar, a secure and enclosed area has been newly constructed for Eurostar trains. Trains depart from St Pancras and travel via High Speed 1 in southern England, through the Channel Tunnel, reaching mainland Europe. At the southern end of the upper level of the station stands a 9-metre-high, 20-tonne bronze statue called “The Meeting Place,” designed by British artist Paul Day, which aims to rekindle the romance of travel.
