Presenter Tom Dyckhoff tours the newly rebuilt
St Pancras station in London, just before it reopened
as the Eurostar terminal in 2007
The concourse is fronted by the Gothic-style Midland Hotel designed by George Gilbert Scott, an architectural marvel which was very nearly demolished in the 1960s

The video gives plenty of opportunity to study architectural details of the building - turrets, spires, arches, staircases, platforms and concourses
