Kings Cross train station is Grade One listed, although you wouldn’t know it – the building has had a lot of really rubbishy work done to it over the years.
Although it is going to be refurbished soon, it still has a certain grim charm and I wanted to record it before it got tarted up.
St. Pancras station, which is right next door, has had the full heritage treatment- cleaned, buffed and polished to within an inch of it’s life. The result is undoubtedly very beautiful but I think I prefer the rather down-at-heel Kings Cross….
