ST PANCRAS STATION

EXPANSION, MODERNISATION AND RESTORATION

The selection of the Grade 1 listed St Pancras railway station as the new terminus for Eurostar required a highly complex programme of expansion, modernisation and restoration. 

Pascall+Watson were appointed to assist in the transformation of St Pancras International Station into a key urban hub, enhancing the customer experience and leading the redevelopment of the surrounding area through added retail and hospitality. The project included the full restoration of the existing Grade I listed station, incorporating the technical requirements of a transport interchange fit for the 21st century. 

Pascall+Watson were appointed to co-ordinate the architectural design and progress works into construction, from the closing out of scheme design through to completion and handover. Our architectural scope comprised the development of the architectural designs in co-ordination with all engineering disciplines, delivery of the coordinated and integrated detailed design approach, wayfinding and architectural design management services for the works. 

Throughout construction and restoration of this complicated scheme, London Midland connections were kept almost entirely operational with minimal inconvenience to both staff and passengers throughout the design. 

Our project transformed St Pancras Station into one of the UK’s most important transport interchanges, with over 45 million passengers passing through the transport interchange zone every year. This award-winning project, now used as an industry benchmark, has received international acclaim and along with Kings Cross redevelopment led to the significant redevelopment of the surrounding area. 

“Working in a highly complex stakeholder environment complex, within a very restricted heritage building we were able to deliver designs with our partners that set new benchmarks in quality and exceeded all operational requirements parameters”
