Location and layout of St. Pancras Railway Station

St pancras station occupies a long strip in the north-south direction. To the south of the station is the bustling Euston Street-the Midland Hotel used to be in front of the station. The north side of the hotel is the main ceiling area of Barlow Station, which is 6 meters higher than the surrounding roads, while the area below it serves as the basement of the station. To the west of the station is Midland Street, and across the street is the New Britain Library. On the east side of the station is Pancras Street, and far from it is King's Cross Station. To the north of the station is the King's Cross Center, which used to be a railway land-an area composed of many complicated railway crossings, and several roads pass through them and the Regent Canal. The platform of Eurostar is added to the ceiling of Barlow, while the platforms of other trains are located at the southern end of the extension line. The platform of Eurostar doesn't need to occupy the whole width of the ceiling, so part of the floor of this floor is removed to let natural light enter the international hall-"arcade" on the lower floor. The hall is located in the basement of the station, as long as the ceiling, on the west side of the Eurostar platform. The waiting room is located under the platform, opposite the lobby.

Lian. The southern end of the international hall is connected with the London underground ticketing hall at King's Cross St. Pancras Station. Both the ground and underground platforms of domestic trains can be reached through the new domestic hall-"market" with the same height as the road. The "market" is in expansion.

The underground at the junction of the building part and Barlow ceiling crosses the whole station from east to west. The domestic and international halls intersect at right angles. The entrance of the main line is located at the east end of the domestic hall, which can be connected with the planned new waiting hall of King's Cross Station and the ticket hall of the future subway station. However, before these facilities are completed, passengers going to the subway station from the domestic hall need to walk in the outdoor main ticket office, or arrive at the west ticket office at the same distance in the international hall. At the southern end of the upper floor of the station, there is a bronze statue with a height of 9 meters and a weight of 20 tons, which is called the "meeting place". This statue was designed by British artist Paul Day to awaken the romance of travel. Not far away is a statue of John Bergman, in which he looks up hopefully at the ceiling of the station. This statue commemorates his actions to protect the station in the 20th century.
