Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: "The Gymnasium" by St Pancras Station This former gym has a coffee bar and an exhibition about the Channel Tunnel Rail Link on the ground floor, and an event space above. Its website http://www.thegymnasiumlondon.co.uk/about.php tells us: "The Gymnasium was actually the home of the German Gymnasium Society, a sporting association established in London in 1861, and it was arguably the first purpose-built gymnasium in Britain. It also hosted the embryo British national governing bodies for gymnastics, wrestling, and fencing; and was the location for the first ever National Olympian Games in 1866".
Derelict London http://www.derelictlondon.com/id67.htm tells us that ironically it was bombed by the Germans in 1917 and says: "Its style is a Prussian neo-medieval vernacular.It has rare surviving laminated timber roof ribs of a type originally used in King's Cross station." Comment by another contributor: "Before being cleaned up it served as the British Railways lost luggage office in the 1940's - 1960's. I lived beside the building in the former Stanley Buildings." |
