St Pancras
Gothic railway cathedral
St Pancras is a district in central London, known primarily for St Pancras railway station, a Victorian Gothic terminus serving Eurostar trains to continental Europe.
The name honors a Roman martyr.
The station's ornate architecture and grand hotel make it a London landmark: We're meeting at St Pancras before the Paris train.
