The Twiglet Zone.
I've never been there, however the area that used to make me feel really uncomfortable was just after Bournemouth (Meyrick Park area), I always felt that I was being watched covertly.

I don't drive down there anymore!

In the cab with the paper
It's the St Pancras trainshed that always gave me the screaming heebie-jeebies when it was a dark dingy place back in the late 1970's/early 1980's. Things are no better there since Eurostar moved in and the whole place was given a facelift, even though it's now much lighter and airier. It's not the Gothic Midland Hotel that does it either, as I could stand and gaze at that for hours.

It's weird. The place just makes me massively uneasy and in a real rush to get out.

there's a Douglas Adams book called something like Dirk Gently and the Dark Tea Tray of the soul, in which St Pancras trainshed features as Valhalla. Good book

I seem to remember one of the first "Most Haunted Live" actually took place in the (then abandoned) Midland Hotel at St P.
