A Look Inside St Pancras Chambers

The Guardian's Jonathan Glancey has had a poke around St Pancras Chambers, the new name for George Gilbert Scott's modernised Midland Grand Hotel, and likes what he sees: "The penthouse flats are highly theatrical spaces... [it's] a bit like being able to buy a flat in the Palace of Westminster, or the Law Courts on the Strand". For fans of property porn, there's also a photo gallery; no sign, unfortunately, of the Spice Girls cheerily cavorting within, as they did in the video for "Wannabe". The £200m renovation will be completed next year when the 244-room Renaissance St Pancras hotel opens. (Photo / avail)
