Sunday, 26th November, spent the morning at St Pancras Station. It may not sound exciting or a tourist hub but it actually is. Architecture is Gothic Revival, a Victorian style inspired by Gothic cathedrals and other medieval architecture – I love it.
But inside it’s a hive of consumerism and coffee. Even Fortnum and Masons have got in on the act. We (fellow writer, Richard Holliday) didn’t visit to travel of buy a rail ticket but to give an opinion on Hatchard’s ‘book’ Christmas tree. The esteemed Piccadilly bookshop having built a wooden bookshelf to resemble a Christmas tree.
It would have been fun to mount the stairs but I can see why it was cordoned off. What you were able to do was sit underneath it and, if you want, read a book, drink coffee or annoy the people who wanted the perfect photo.
Anyway, Richard, forever on the lookout to publicise his novels, brought it along and we took the opportunity to promote his book.
