Since Euston/St Pancras is to be the gateway to The North and the gateway to
The Continent, how about a Wembley-style arch stretching from Euston to St
Pancras, with gondolas hanging from it? That would show them uppity
Wuppertalers, and I think it might be cheaper than a subterranean
travelator.
Until I read your post, I doubted that it would have been possible for
anyone to come up with an even more tacky idea for Euston Road than a
21st century restaurant-and-nightclub-housing semi-replica of a
grotesque and entirely pointless 19th century propylaeum.

It now appears that I was wrong. ;-)

But it could be held up by fibreglass replica caryatids! Perhaps modelled
after the celebrated Ms Katie Price?



Oh, joy. Not. :-(

Someone remind me what she is famous for, apart from being famous.
