London is abuzz with the opening of the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in Kings Cross, 138 years after its original construction as The Midland Grand Hotel. The historic building—which has appeared in the Harry Potter films, Batman Begins and Bridget Jones’ Diary—has undergone a years-long renovation and restoration to Victorian Gothic glory, now with modern comforts. Amenities include The Gilbert Scott Restaurant, run by one of Britain’s most celebrated chefs, Marcus Wareing.
