King's Cross station is a major railway terminus opened in 1852.
The station is located on the edge of Central London.
King's Cross is featured in the Harry Potter books, by J. K. Rowling,
as the starting point of the Hogwarts Express.
The train uses a secret platform 9 3/4 located by passing
through the brick wall barrier between platforms 9 and 10.
The Platform 9 3/4 sign occasionally causes congestion as tourists and
Harry Potter fans stop to photograph it or try to push
the rest of the luggage trolley through the wall.
St Pancras railway station is a major railway station situated in
St Pancras, London between the British Library and King's Cross station.
You can watch this historical appearance of the station in

located in Gracechurch Street.
The market dates back to the fourteenth century.
It is open from 07:00-late Monday to Friday,
and sells fresh food; among the vendors there are cheesemongers,
butchers and florists.
Originally a meat, game and poultry market,
it stands on what was the centre of Roman London.
Walk down the south arm of the market.
On the right runs the tiny Bull’s Head Passage.
Alongside number 42 you’ll find a smart new opticians called
The Glace House. And if the entrance looks familiar,
it is because it is doorway of “The Leaky Cauldron”,
which contains the entrance to “Daigon Alley”
where Hagrid takes Harry to buy his wizard supplies
in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
