I sometimes pop in there on my way home if I fancy a coffee.You mean you actually want it to re-open ? Give me the boarded up frontage any day.
Maybe the glass walls are being removed now it's warm?

What for? They've only just put them up.

Because their main purpose appeared to be to keep the heating within the space - now the heating is switched off that reason for enclosing the space no longer exists.
I like the Italian Coffe Bar on Caledonian Road, 'Grand Sasso' I think its called, roughly opposite the Tesco where rails staff get their snacks and Ruby Bar on the other corner.
I also like McGlynn's Bar down Argyll Street as a local stop off for a few minutes.
Both are sensible prices and better quality than anything I've found yet in St.P.
I find that most Starbucks drinks are bascially hot milk with a bare minimum of actual coffee. I avoid whenever possible.
Personally cannot see the point in luke warm brown water when there's a grand pub in the form of the Brie Louise next to Euston. 50p off for CAMRA members...almost brings it down to the rip-off cost of the coffee.
If I wanted a pint (of Real Ale) I'd go to a pub, but I'm not I would be after a coffee, so I visit a coffee shop.
What about a pub that serves decent coffee ?
But I want something I can take on the train with me.
Euston isn't Kings Cross and the Bree Louise is very hit & miss for a decent pint had more dross there than good stuff so I give it a miss (even the Euston Tap is better!).
For Kings Cross has to be the King Charles or the Queens Head both eminently superior in ale quality to the Bree and much closer to Kings X.
Different people have different views about real ales but CAMRA North London branch (I am a member) would very definitely beg to differ......
Believe me, at 3am in the middle of January, it's bloody freezing!Anyway it's not like the area is particularly cold in the winter. And they put them up in the spring.
So, they spend a week or two putting the glass walls up, during which time the shop is completely closed and therefore they loose money, and then about a month later they spend another week or two taking them down, again with the shop closed. Yeah that makes sense.

Nice attitude: If you know all the answers, why post the question in the first place?

I like Upper Crust and have a coffee discount card (6th one free).
It says "available all over the UK" and I use it all the time at stations.
However, when I tried a UC outlet on the M40 they said the cards were "only at railway stations" with that look that says you were stupid to ask.
Thanks, I'll give it a go. Where is it btw?
Any views on the "Betjemen Arms" at STP as a station boozer?
Expensive. But at least you can sit and look at the trains.
