St. Pancras International
The re-birth of the most famous station in Britain is one of the most exciting construction and restoration projects in the last 100 years. St Pancras has always been one of the major architectural icons in London. Now, it has been transformed into a modern, world-class terminal for Eurostar, the domestic high speed line, East Midlands Trains, Southeastern Trains and the London Underground. It is a truly grand retail and hospitality destination.
St Pancras International aims to set a benchmark for customer service excellence and provides more staff, better trained and equipped than any other London station.

St Pancras Chambers
St Pancras Chambers is being transformed by the Manhattan Loft Corporation into a 244 bedroom 5 star Renaissance Marriott hotel with 2 restaurants, 2 bars, health and leisure centre, ballroom, 20 meeting rooms and 67 private apartments.
A key element of the station refurbishment is the Barlow shed extension, a contemporary re-working of the original train-shed. The 400 metre Eurostar trains are actually twice the size of typical domestic trains, and so the existing platforms have been doubled in length. After-all, we are talking about a brand new high-speed railway station.
St Pancras is one of the best connected stations in Europe, and as a transport hub, there's going to be nothing to rival it in the world. The restoration of St Pancras will ensure that it takes its place as the jewel in the crown of Britain's transport system. It will be an incredible destination.
