The red-brick terminus originally opened in 1868. The Telegraph described it as 'magnificent [and] gothic', and as a physical embodiment of all the 'splendour and deep pockets' of the early Victorian railway investors. St Pancras got a facelift at the turn of the 20th century, with renovations creating dedicated space for new cross-Channel train services. These days, St Pancras is the only place in the UK where you can get on a Eurostar train, although campaigners have been trying to change this for some time.
