The Champagne Bar at St Pancras

What better way to celebrate the new speedier Eurostar route from St Pancras than with a glass of bubbly at the world’s longest Champagne bar? Located within the magnificently restored station, the actual bar alone seats 110 with a dozen leather-clad banquettes adorned with striking art-deco lamps, as well as several smaller tables & ample standing room. The impressive range of Champagnes, showcasing up to 70 bins, starts at £39.95 rising to a stratospheric £2,500; 11 are available by the glass. Food from a menu designed to complement the fizz includes things such as smoked salmon & scrambled eggs for breakfast, fishcakes & potted shrimps for lunch & langoustines for dinner. Best of all, bubbly flows practically all day, meaning you can always start & end your journey in style. Top tip is the Krug Champagne Breakfast for two: scrambled eggs, black truffle & chives on toasted sour dough, tea or coffee, fresh pink grapefruit juice & half a bottle of Grand Cuvee (£97.50).
