St Pancras Station

About this book

Simon Bradley traces the history of the station, introducing us to the men behind the architecture and looks at its new international status. This fine new edition includes a fascinating chapter on the new hotel and some timely revisions bringing it fully up to date. 'A marvellous piece of social, aesthetic and technological history... it is impossible to praise Bradley's book too highly' A. N. Wilson, Daily Telegraph 'Brilliantly and with deft hand, Simon Bradley makes sense of it all... fabulous' Sunday Telegraph 'A masterpiece of historical context... immensely readable' Sunday Times 'This fine book examines the history of both the church that gave the station its name and the railway terminus... unexpectedly compelling' Daily Mail
