An amazing and interesting St. Pancras Station exploration.

#europetrip#london#uk#historical St. Pancras International is one of the most iconic and well-regarded railway stations in London. The station is often praised for its stunning Victorian Gothic architecture, which has been beautifully restored. The unique high ceilings, intricate details, and overall grandeur make it a visually impressive place. We were there to take the Eurostar to Paris, we came quite early so have plenty of time to do some exploring for the surroundings while waiting to depature, There are 2 interesting spots that indeed impressed me much, ▶️ The Meeting Place Statue: This impressive and imposing sculpture which is a work by Paul Day in 2007, that represents a couple embracing under the emblematic station clock as a symbol of travel and farewell. It's truly an iconic piece of art and amazing display of artistry. ▶️ Statue of Sir John Betjeman: This sculpture is tribute to poet John Betjeman by Martin Jennings. Around the base of the statue are carved lines from Betjeman poems, "Here where the cliffs alone prevail. I stand exultant, neutral, free, And from the cushion of the gale. Behold a huge consoling sea. " The statue was unveiled in 2007 by Betjeman's daughter at the inauguration of the Eurostar service from St. Pancras Station. Overall, the St. Pancras Station is absolutely a fine locale for history buffs and a splendid spot for capturing keepsake photos. 📍Euston Rd., London N1C 4QP, United Kingdom.
