We all know about St Pancras Station.
But what is the history of the area we call St Pancras? Was there just a church?
We will begin our walk inside St Pancras mainline station on the upper level. Take the stairs or the escalator up from the area with all the shops. Near the front of the station, inside, you’ll find a very big statue of two people embracing. It’s called….The Lovers statue. That’s where we’ll meet.
From here we’ll start by exploring the area where the OLD St Pancras church can be found. By the last century it was known as Old Saint Pancras, because a NEW Church – “New Saint Pancras” – had been built.
Our walk will then take us through the area of SOMERS TOWN, where we will explore the amazing examples of social housing and uncover the history of two other churches along the way. Finally we’ll arrive at the NEW St Pancras Church where our walk will end, just opposite Euston Station.
