Zone 1 rail station, across Pancras Road from [[King's Cross Station|King's Cross mainline station]]. There is a ticket office for the [[King's Cross St Pancras Station|King's Cross St Pancras Tube station]] beneath ground level at the front of the building. This is primarily the Central London terminus for Eurostar services to Paris, Brussels and other northern European cities, and was refurbished for this purpose, re-opening in 2007 (it took over these services from [[Waterloo Station]]). At its northern end there are also platforms for services to the Midlands and, beneath those platforms, a connection with the First Capital Connect (Thameslink) services from Bedford and Luton south to St Albans. An increasing number of up-market shops and boutiques are opening along the main thoroughfare through the station, which runs below the Eurostar platforms, including [[Yo Sushi, NW1 2QP|a branch]] of Yo Sushi. Upstairs next to the Eurostar platforms is a champagne bar, and at the front of the building is the [[Betjeman Arms, NW1 2QP|Betjeman Arms]] pub. It lies near a statue of the poet, author and heritage campaigner, Sir John Betjeman <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/2428518233/ photo]</small>, who was instrumental in ensuring the building wasn't destroyed in the 1960s.
