Few passengers who pass though St Pancras station stop to think why the station itself is so huge. Those who do may remember that it was built after Kings Cross by a rival company back before privatisation, and so may attribute the grand styling to a case of oneupmanship. What I had not realised was that the actual building I think of as St Pancras was actually the Midland Grand Hotel, and its size and styling were actually developed independently of the station to which it is attached.
