The Booking Office at The Renaissance Hotel in St. Pancras is one of those places that I only realised was on my list of 'places I have to eat in, in London' once I'd actually been. I think I realised a few minutes in, staring up at its beautifully ornate high ceilings. Living inside the truly magnificent St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel (which only recently finished nothing less than a decade of renovations) the building was originally conceived by Sir George Gilbert Scott and opened as the Midland Grand in 1873. It really is palatial in both its interior and its exterior. It was originally built as a hotel for well heeled train travellers, and more than a century later, is doing pretty much the same thing. The attachment to St. Pancras Railway Station does give the place a kind of frenetic energy, and a few of the hotel rooms have amazing views over the inside of the station.
Anyhow, as you may have guessed, the Booking Office Bar (which is where we spent our ridiculous evening) is built on the site of the station's former booking office. It seems to have lost nothing of the original room's history and character - just look at it. On a foodie note, good news comes in the form of the bar/restaurant that now lives inside it - as a Marriott operation you're allowed to have some expectations when t comes to the food and these guys certainly deliver (though not, perhaps, at the level of insanity you may find at JW Steakhouse on Park Lane or Gillray's in County Hall. Food is, on the main part, rather British with a few modern European touches - think an all day menu with Fish Finger Sandwiches, Toad in the Hole, Shepardâs Pie, Black Angus Beef Burgers, etc. Keeping with the British theme, they also serve the traditional afternoon tea in the adjacent (and for some reason very fragrant) Hansom Lounge.
We were there partly for The Renaissance's 'punch ritual'. What I forgot to mention is that the other big theme here is the Victorian era (heck, they're halfway there with the decor). One way this plays out is in an array of (often gin based) punches and mixed drinks, many of which they dug up from old Victorian recipe books. Monday night's punch recipe/ritual was based on one served at the infamous Garrick club - I watched our photogenic, Italian barman pour an entire bottle of Sipsmith's London Dry into that thing. A mug (metal mug) of said punch is complimentary, but you've got to get up and try some (which apparently encourages diners to be a little more sociable, kinda the point of serving a punchâ¦like a party!). 2 bottles of wine and some punch later, we were given the goahead to explore the inside of the hotel further - check out the Grand Staircase. It is a very grand staircase. This place is worth a visit. A healthy/unhealthy dose of living history and delicious food/drink, all at the same time...
We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.

The old 1961 booking hall at St Helens Central, not long before it was replaced by the "squashed golfball" (as I call the new station building). As you can see, the 1961 building was welcoming and airy, compared with its modern replacement, which is about as welcoming as a shop with two scallies standing by the door!
Not only that, but there was ramped access to the subway connecting the two platforms (as well as the old Widnes platform), which was FAR better than the overbridge and disabled access lift, (which is also used who can't be arsed walking up the stairs...and I don't mean those with bona fide walking difficulties neither!)
You would have thought Merseyrail and Northernrail would have taken that into consideration, wouldn't you?
