London St Pancras gets a delicious new name for Pancake Day
The fun tradition has put a smile on commuters’ faces
One of London’s busiest train stations has been given a new name for Pancake Day.


St Pancras International has been temporarily renamed London St Pancake in honour of Shrove Tuesday.
The delicious name change is an annual tradition that puts a smile on commuters’ faces.


While there have been no physical changes to St Pancras (sadly, tickets don’t come with a side of lemon and sugar), the station name has been displayed as London St Pancake on departure boards across the city.
South Eastern Railway posted on X: “Spring is in the air which can only mean one thing… Anyone hungry? (Disclaimer: No eggs were broken, flour beaten or milk spilt in the creation of these images)”
The name change has caused a stir on social media with people sharing photos and videos of the destination boards across the major platforms.
