Travel Snapshot – St. Pancras Train Station, London

We had a relatively good weather on our 3rd day in London. Though it was raining during certain hours of the day, we still had enough bright sun and blue sky to shoot photos to capture the best landmarks in London. As I mentioned before, great photos need good lighting, the photo below explained it perfectly.

This is the front facade building of St. Pancras International, the international train station being the Terminal for EuroStar inter-continental train connecting London with Paris. This orange Gothic Revival architecture was designed by the famous local architect, George Gilbert Scott. It is located at Euston Road, in between British Library and Kingscross Train Station.

As you can see now, it was barricaded for a major renovation works to upgrade it to the 245 rooms Marriott Renaissance Hotel St. Pancras which is due to be completed in year 2011. However, St. Pancras station is still operational and Kingscross underground station has an underpass tunnel connecting to St. Pancras’s Eurostar terminal. If you’re taking Eurostar train to Paris, here is where you should check in for departure. We completed our London travel here before leaving for Paris. – Travel Feeder, your ultimate travel photo blog
