St Pancras
St Pancras is returning to its former glory.
The former Midland Grand Hotel, with its eye-catching red brick Grade 1 listed Gothic
façade has now reopened its doors as part of a £200 million development plan with
the conversion of 67 luxury apartments now completed and a 5 star, 245 rooms hotel
due for completion in 2011, Rowan Moore, architecture critic for the Evening Standard
writes on Feb 10th.
Designed by Sir Gilbert Scott and built between 1868 and 1876, the Midland Grand
was closed in 1935 and were used as railway offices until 1985, known as the St
Pancras Chambers.
