Look at the floor and not the ceiling

British craft is certainly not dead at St.Pancras.

So, the champagne bar is mediocre and the retail facilities are what you might expect, but you can’t help being impressed by William Henry Barlow’s amazing engineered ceiling. Best of all is beneath your feet. Here set in the floor sit beautiful circles of carved typography. It’s really worth a trip just to marvel at this extraordinary craftsmanship.
