Positives:

  • Central transport hub: St Pancras connects to multiple Underground lines and national rail services.
  • Futuristic design: Ticket desks use holographic screens under a Gothic Revival vault.

Challenges:

  • Peak-time queues: Security and border checks can take 20–30 minutes during morning and evening peaks.
  • Limited public charging: Few sockets are available outside the lounge and may be occupied.

We did premium class and were very satisfied! Now, we do not recommend the food! Buy something before you board and bring that with you!

We also saw ...
