TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"The station's facilities and coffee shops on the ground floor get really busy, and I've often been surrounded by crowds lining up for the Eurostar. Searcys St Pancras Bar & Brasserie on the upper level is a lovely spot for a caffeinated beverage, soft drink or something stronger. It's also one of the only eateries with its own toilets, so there's no need to queue for one of the busy facilities on the main concourse."
