Information about this winner

Originally renowned for George Gilbert Scott’s station building and Midland Grand Hotel, and William Barlow’s soaring train shed, St Pancras Station has been beautifully reorganized, extended and modernized. Now accommodating the Eurostar service, new Thameslink station and Underground ticket hall, the scheme has updated the station, making it a real European facility. This is a top quality scheme which has brought the romance and grandeur back to arriving in London by rail. The scheme itself has acted as a tremendous catalyst for the regeneration of the surrounding area, bringing investment in shops, restaurants and local transport links. The station has been transformed into a destination in its own right, without neglecting its architectural heritage, and is used by a local, national and international community
