So what kind of beer do you get in these station pubs?


The closure took me by surprize last year -- rather than hang around
Heathrow for the overpriced breakfast I headed to KX for some food
before getting the train to Newcastle. I'd been to the Duke before,
and although crowded was ok for what I wanted. St P had only recently
opened and I didn't see any obvious pub signs amongst the boutiques
than seemed to dominate the St P concourse.

There is to be a pub close to Kings Cross favored by cab drivers. It
may have been on York Way. I am streching my memory back to 1971ish.
It did exceptional sandwiches at reasonable prices.

What's up with plans to reopen York Street on the Piccadilly Line?

There is something in York Way IIRC but I doubt you'd recognise it.

If you mean York Road, I wasn't aware there were any such plans.

Indeed so. I just took a look at the area thru Google Maps. So much
has changed.
