St Pancras - S1.E10 - Climbing Great Buildings

The next step Jonathan's journey takes him to King Cross St Pancras, a masterpiece of Victorian design and without doubt London's most stunning and romantic station.

With unprecedented access to St Pancras, aided by champion climber Lucy Creamer, Jonathan scales all over the buildings to investigate the innovations and techniques used to construct both the train terminal and the elegant Midland Hotel. On the Midland Hotel, Jonathan climbs over 240 feet up the immense clock tower to explain how Britain had different time zones until the advent of stations like St Pancras. He discovers water powered elevators, why penthouses used to be on the ground floor and how the hotel was almost doomed to failure by only providing 9 bathrooms for 400 bedrooms.
