We recently stayed in an extraordinary apartment inside the clock tower of London’s revamped St Pancras Station. The apartment is right beneath the clock and there’s a ladder in the loungeroom leading, Hugo-style, to the timepiece. Below are some pics (and a here’s link to the AirBNB booking page if you’re in the market. Peter, the owner, is a fascinating guy and the perfect host).

| The large loungeroom with 60 ft (?) ceilings – perfect place to tackle jet lag and dream on a new book idea. |
 |
 |
| Skylight in kitchen ceiling in case you need to check the time. |
 |
| Books everywhere! The best private book collection I have ever seen. A lifetime of reading. |
 |
| View out to the revamped square in front of Kings Cross Station |
 |
| Lots of places to escape with a book or hide and write. Kids are welcome, too. |
 |
| Some of my faves and many I’ve always meant to read but haven’t. |
 |
| And when your stay ends, you can slip downstairs and jump on the Eurostar to Paris or Brussells. We didn’t but I recommend you do. Very 007. |
More adventures soon – a day in the Jardin Du Luxembourg with kids!
