ST. PANCRAS - BUILT ON BEER

St Pancras International has long been associated with the beer industry – with 688 cast iron columns included within the design of the station, perfectly spaced to fit the width of multiple beer barrels. In the ten years following the station’s opening in 1868 these vaults, which house the station’s retailers today, saw an annual influx of over 200,000 barrels from the Bass Brewery alone. Now, 153 years later, the station is still tapping into its heritage by hosting its annual celebratory beer festival with a range of offers, promotions and events every Thursday throughout October. 

What better place to enjoy an after-work drink on a Thirsty Thursday than London’s leading ‘destination’ station.
