St Pancras International is a major Gothic Revival railway terminus on Euston Road in central London, designed by William Henry Barlow and George Gilbert Scott and completed in 1868. Built by the Midland Railway to connect its extensive network across the Midlands and North of England to London, the station's soaring iron and glass shed—at 689 feet long, 240 feet wide, and 100 feet high—was then the largest enclosed space in the world, its single-span roof supported by wrought iron pillars. The ornate red-brick Midland Grand Hotel, designed by Scott following a competition, adorns the station's façade. Today it is a Grade I listed building serving Eurostar services to continental Europe, East Midlands Railway regional trains, Southeastern high-speed services to Kent, and Thameslink cross-London routes; combined with the adjacent King's Cross station and the Underground beneath, it forms one of Britain's largest transport hubs.
