St. Pancras Int
Nestled in the heart of the striking UK's capital, the St. Pancras International is something bigger than a simple train station, it's truly one of the most fascinating transport hubs of London comparable with the world-famous King's Cross Station (located just across the road from St. Pancras by the way). The station's beautiful Victorian building is a living history, dating back to 1868. Inside, you can find everything you would expect from a top-notch train station, including comfortable waiting rooms, several ticket offices, ATMs, St. Pancras left-luggage facilities, free Wi-Fi, numerous shops, bars, and cafes to brighten up the waiting hours. But that's not all, the station also boasts several beautiful monuments scattered around the complex, the longest champagne bar in the world (look for it on the upper level of the station), and even a stylish hotel!

The railway stations owe its name to the St. Pancras neighborhood, which, in turn, got it from the Pancras of Rome, a 14-year-old Christian boy who chose to be executed over rejecting his faith.
Although both King's Cross and St Pancras train stations are nestled side by side, they are two different railway hubs. King's Cross is the East Coast Main Line terminus station, serving trains to Cambridge, Doncaster, York, Leeds, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, as well as many others. St Pancras rail station, on the other hand, boasts a title of the Midland Main Line terminus station where you can catch a train to Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester, Bedford, Luton, Kent, Paris, and Brussels.
As mentioned above, these rail stations are located side by side, so it can take from 3 to 15 minutes, depending on which part of the station do you leave from/head to.
The railway station boasts a fantastic location in the city center, nestled next to such amazing landmarks of the city as the impressive British Library, picturesque Regent's Canal, and the world-famous King's Cross railway station, serving trains to the best school of witchcraft and wizardry, Hogwarts (according to the Harry Potter franchise).
Yes, it does. The St Pancras International shares the metro station with the neighboring King's Cross railway station. The tube station is called King's Cross St Pancras and together with the train stations mentioned above they form one of the biggest transport hubs in the United Kingdom.
Several trains serve the station, so let's stay on the subject for a moment. At St. Pancras you can take a Eurostar train (platforms 5-10) to Lille, Paris, Brussels, one of the South Eastern trains (platforms 11-13) to Kent, a Thameslink train (platforms A&B) to Croydon, Gatwick Airport, Brighton, Luton, and Bedford or one of the Midland Mainline trains to Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, and Sheffield.
If you have a Eurostar train to catch, you need to go to the platforms 5-10. It's easy to spot them as they are enclosed with glass security walls (if you need help navigating, you can always ask one of the station's workers or check with one of the St Pancras station maps available inside).
We recommend arriving at the station at least 45 - 60 minutes prior to departure as the ticket gates close 30 minutes before departure for the Standart/Standart Premier ticket holders and half an hour for those who have Business Premier/Carte Blanche tickets. As a rule, arriving an hour earlier should give you enough time to pass the ticket gates as well as security checks and passport control points.
The railway station is one of the biggest railway hubs in the country, boasting 15 platforms.
The fastest connection between those major transport hubs is a subway. The metro trains offer a broad departure schedule and promise to complete the journey in under 40 minutes.
