About this work

St Pancras Waterpoint is a water tower in the London Borough of Camden. It is a Grade II listed building. It was originally used to refill steam locomotives at St Pancras station with water. The Victorian Gothic brick structure was built around 1868, and designed by the office of Sir George Gilbert Scott, who was also responsible for the Midland Grand Hotel at Pancras station. The three-story structure measures approximately 9m by 6m, and houses a cast-iron tank on the top floor capable of holding 68 cubic metres of water.
