London St Pancras is a major railway terminus in central London. Opening in 1868, the station is located in the Strand. At the station's front sits the Midland Grand Hotel, designed by George Gilbert Scott.[1]
In 1868, Jacob Frye, at the behest of Maxwell Roth, detonated a significant amount of explosives within the station, and stole a train owned by the Templars[2].
Behind the Scenes
St Pancras station's layout in-game does not match its real-world counterparts. The design of St Pancras railway station's clock tower is, however, faithfully replicated as part of the fictional Lambeth Asylum.[3]
In reality, St Pancras railway station opened on 1 October 1868 so its appearance in Syndicate could be prior to its opening; however, construction started in 1864[4], so there would have been a building at some stage of construction on the site throughout the year.
