A security-sealed terminal area was constructed for Eurostar services to Continental Europe—via High Speed 1 and the Channel Tunnel—along with platforms for domestic connections to the north and south-east of England. The restored station houses fifteen platforms, a shopping centre and a bus station, in addition to London Underground services from King's Cross St Pancras tube station. St Pancras is owned by London and Continental Railways along with the adjacent urban regeneration area known as King's Cross Central.

YO! Sushi is a British restaurant chain which was started by British entrepreneur Simon Woodroffe in 1998 and is part of the YO! Company. YO! Sushi specialises in delivering sushi to customers using the Japanese style conveyor belt method. In each restaurant various sushi dishes and other Japanese cooked foods are prepared in a kitchen in plain view of customers and then set on the thin conveyor belt. The belt carries food around the restaurant in a circuit, allowing diners to pick any dish from the belt for consumption. In order to indicate freshness, a label is applied to the lid of the dish to when the dish must be consumed by.

Tower Bridge (built 1886-1894) is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England, over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, from which it takes its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London.

倫敦塔橋（Tower Bridge）是位於英國倫敦一座橫跨泰晤士河鐵橋，因位於倫敦塔附近而得名。倫敦塔橋有時被誤稱為倫敦橋（London Bridge），其實真正的倫敦橋是另一座完全不同的橋樑，位於倫敦塔橋的上游。

St Pancras Station clock made by Dent

Dent was a London manufacturer of luxury clocks and watches, founded by Edward John Dent. Dent began making watches in 1814, although it wasn’t until 1876 that the Dent triangular trade mark was registered. Perhaps the company’s biggest coup is winning the contract to make the clock for the new palace of Westminster – or Big Ben as it’s more commonly known.

The various domestic service platforms, both above and below ground level, are accessed via a street-level domestic concourse, named The Market, that runs east to west at the point where the old and new parts of the station meet—the domestic and international concourses meet at a right angle, forming a 'T' shape. The main pedestrian entrance to the station is at the eastern end of this domestic concourse where a subway tunnel leads under the ground for pedestrians to reach King's Cross station and the northern ticket hall for the shared tube station.
