St Pancras station is a magnificent place to catch a train. From George Gilbert Scott’s stunning gothic hotel front to William Henry Barlow’s elegantly soaring iron and glass train shed, it’s an uplifting location to start or end any journey. It’s also home to one of the worst works of public art in the city.
Actually, there are several public works in St Pancras, thanks to a rather good series of temporary commissions that started in 2013, replacing the Olympic Rings that hung there throughout the summer of 2012.
