Well it is a stunning sight....

... and I imagine keen photograpers will be queueing up to capture its beauty.

Quote:

A new concourse at London's King's Cross station - a key transport hub for the Olympics - is to be unveiled later.

The multi-million pound facility will more than double capacity at the central station, which is used by 47m passengers every year.

Thousands of extra people are expected to travel through the hub this summer as it provides a vital link to the Olympic Park in Stratford, east London

Saw a report on the new concourse on TV this morning and was impressed by the way the designer has blended the Victorian architecture with all that steel work. It certainly looked light and airy.

I believe as part of the restoration it has moved - used to be between 9a & 9b in the annex ;)

It is impressive but the colums supporting it is bit ugly. With them obstructing display window in the vid looks bit awkward.

Suppose its the load issues but wish they could if the could blended it bit more to the surroundings. The airial shot does make the thing out of place.

Anybody else thinks the same.
