This place was a total rip off!!!! for 20 quid I got a pot of tea and a small selection of boring, dry sandwiches and dull, dry cakes. The place looks nice but that's all it has going for it. I feel like I just threw away money.

Competent yet dull. Service: leisurely, but not in a good way.

The glorious wrought iron and glass ceiling arching overhead, the Eurostar pulling out of the station en route to Paris, excited lovers reuniting below, and a glass of champagne in hand.

If you have but an ounce of romance, you cannot failed to be wowed. Frankly writing about toilets and price about an establishment like this entirely misses the point.

It's glamorous in a very old-fashioned sense. The staff are impeccably polite and charming; the food is dainty and delicious.

In the summer sunlight streams through the air, while in winter months heated seats provide comfort and extra blankets are on hand.

It's not the cheapest place in London - though £7.50 for a glass of champagne is cheaper than in many bars in the city - but it is perhaps the most fabulous.

If you're looking for a large glass of wine for £1.99 and a seat near the bogs, probably look elsewhere.

My partner and I had a wonderful day out in London and decided to take in a show and thought that a glass of "bubbly" would just top off the evening...We had a wonderful time.

The staff were just lovely and the champagne was exquisite....Perfect end to a perfect day!! Many thanks..

if your passing through st pancras and am in no hurry then i recommend giving it a try. the champagne makes a change from heading to the usual weatherspoons that litter london's main stations. this establishment should be supported and i urge you to do so, if you are using the station that is. its not that amazing.

I use the champagne bar frequently as I travel to and from Nottingham by train. Yes, it is busy and difficult to find a seat, yes, it can be chilly and yes, it is fairly expensive. But it's well worth putting up with all of this as it's decadent and elegant and the place to be seen!

High on pose value but low on practical comfort, this is quite literally a cool venue. It looks great, but wear your thermal underwear and a thick overcoat, because it's bloody cold unless you get a seat under the heaters. Also, the loos are a very long way away. Not a great place for romantic assignations unless you have the constitution of a polar bear and a cast-iron bladder.

Well, I went to the launch and I don't think it's all that! It's OK - but WAY over hyped, and it's bloody freezing! Heated chairs or not, I was too cold to enjoy the champers.

It's not that cold and you don't really notice when you're sitting on one of the heated seats. The problem with some people is that they're always looking to find fault, they can't just enjoy a night out. From the sound of it you shouldn't have been drinking Champagne anyway. You'd have been better off wallowing in your own negativity and necking a bottle of vodka!!

The Champagne Bar is excellent. Well worth checking out in my opinion and don't let any 'I'm too good for this' poncey people's opinions put you off. I was at the launch too and I think it rocked!
