It's a train station! Full of busy people who are fun to observe, as long as you're not stressed yourself. But that being said, it's a busy one. If you're into trainspotting, this is kind of like mecca, I think. And if you're a Harry Potter fan, you'll definitely have to make your way over to Platform 9 3/4! More

The open and modern feel as prior to this, I associated the station with chaos. I own a flat nearby and have seen it go through its transformation so with St Pancras taking all of the limelight, it is good to see that Kings X can live up to its sister. More

Big and busy place. Will probably be interesting for fans of Harry Potter trying to find Platform 9 3/4 but despite it's fame, it is just another train station. Expect to be bumped into by commuters quite a lot More

They have managed to keep part of the history of the building itself and able to operate efficiently as a modern transport location. More

For free, you can get your very own picture taken with the luggage cart disappearing into the wall of Platform 9 3/4, just like in Harry Potter! More
