King’s Cross St Pancras
国王的十字圣潘克洛斯站
This tube station services King’s Cross and St Pancras National Rail stations.

St Pancras was born around 289, and beheaded for his Christian faith when he was 14 years old.
这个地铁站监管国王的十字和圣潘克洛斯国家火车站。前者即哈利波特通往霍格沃茨的车站,广为人知;但引人热议的国王是指乔治四世(1820-1830执政);而十字毁于1845年。圣潘克洛斯出生于约莫289年,14岁时因其基督信仰而被斩首。
