Architecture Update: Return of the pink Pancras
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.WHEN St Pancras Chambers, the former Midland Hotel fronting St Pancras station, London, is fully cleaned, passengers and passers-by are in for a surprise. Not only will the walls reappear in their original salmon-pink brickwork, but the roof tiles, blackened by pea-soupers and diesel exhaust, are to be replaced by sea-green slates. The original Victorian colour scheme will come as a shock to those born this century; it will also put the new British Library - still being built alongside - very much in the shade.
