St Pancras Station is a celebration of Victorian architecture and engineering: two contrasting, exceptional Victorian structures, the trainshed by W H Barlow & R M Ordish (1863-5) and the magnificent Midland Grand Hotel by Sir George Gilbert Scott (1868-74). Threatened with demolition in the 1960s, Scott’s hotel was recognised as a major work of the Gothic Revival, and the magnificently restored station is now the centrepiece for a spectacular revival of a long-neglected corner of central London. This lecture shows how the hotel, the station and their surroundings have been transformed over the past thirty-five years.
