The St Pancras Waterpoint was designed by the office of Sir George Gilbert Scott, the architect responsible for the magnificent Midland Grand Hotel that forms the frontispiece of St Pancras railway station, and his influence can clearly be seen in the Waterpoint’s ornate brickwork and elaborate detailing. Containing a vast 2,400 cubic foot capacity cast iron water tank, the Waterpoint was designed to supply water to steam trains visiting St Pancras station.

In 1997, the proposed development of the new Channel Tunnel Rail Link terminus at St Pancras meant that the Waterpoint was threatened with demolition. However, as the building was of such architectural and engineering importance, English Heritage intervened and we prepared a detailed relocation proposal in partnership with the developers for the Cross-Channel High Speed link, London Continental Railways (LCR). Although this proposal received grant offers from both English Heritage and the National Lottery Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) the project failed to proceed when the second stage of the link was deferred with no firm date for its implementation.

Regent's Canal

Highlight • River

The Regent's Canal provides a link from the Grand Union Canal to the River Thames. This section flows around the edge of Regent's Park, providing a nice walking corridor through town.

The canal was completed in 1816 and covers 8.6 miles (13.8km).

Bench opposite the Feng Shang Princess on Regent's Canal

Highlight • Viewpoint

"Slow Horses" is a British spy thriller television series based on the 2010 novel of the same name by Mick Herron. Gary Oldman plays Jackson Lamb, a cunning secret agent who was transferred to a kind of bad bank for failed MI5 employees as a punishment.

Many of the series' filming locations are spread across London. This includes this bank on Regent's Canal opposite the eye-catching Feng Shang Princess Floating Restaurant. Here Lamb meets several times unofficially with the secret service chief Diana Taverner (played by Kristin Scott Thomas).

So if you want to meet up for a secret meeting in a picturesque setting, this is the place for you.
