St Pancras railway station is a major railway station situated in St Pancras, London between the British Library and King's Cross station. It was opened in 1868 by the Midland Railway as the southern terminus of that company's Midland Main Line arriving from the East Midlands and Yorkshire.

The station is a Grade I listed building and is celebrated for its architecture. During the 2000s, the complex was renovated, expanded and rebranded as St Pancras International, with a new security-sealed terminal area for Eurostar trains to continental Europe via the Channel Tunnel, along with domestic connections to the north and south of England. The station is served by King's Cross St Pancras tube station on the London Underground network, as is neighbouring King's Cross station.

 

St. Pancras is often termed the ‘cathedral of the railways’, and includes two of the most celebrated structures built in Britain in the Victorian era. The main train shed, completed in 1868 by the engineer William Henry Barlow, was the largest single-span structure built up to that time. The frontage of the station is formed by St Pancras Chambers, formerly the Midland Grand Hotel (1868–1877), a stunning example of Victorian gothic architecture.
