🎄👻 Twas the night before #Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring…except for the shadowy figure by the tree.
The lights on the tree flicker, but it’s not the faulty wiring: 💀
…And that creak upstairs? Definitely not Santa. 🎅🏻
🎄✨ Stay merry, stay vigilant! ✨🎄

In 1966, this Victorian Gothic gem—the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel—was nearly demolished by British Rail. 🚂
Thanks to a campaign it gained Grade I protection.
Abandoned for years, it reopened in 2011, restored to glory. 🏰 #LondonHistory
