St Pancras, in glory, once again
Now this is the kind of editorial statement that, sadly, we just don't see very often in the US:
"The station's rebirth is a slap in the face for the old-is-useless mob and all their claptrap about outdated structures."

The restored iron and glass train shed is a striking contrast to the station's neo-Gothic brickwork.
The Guardian has a loving opinion piece about London's screamingly Victorian St. Pancras Station, on the occasion of the Eurostar's first arrival at its new hub. The BBC recounts the struggle to save the station from the wrecking ball of urban renewal in the 1960's and has a photo gallery (via Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space).
