International Easter Rally: Part 3 - Platform 9 3/4.
The six of us, Celie, Chris, Cody, Holly, Liz and I, made our way to the underground. After we figured out the zones and tickets, we caught a train to Green Park where we transferred to the Piccadilly Line. From here we continued on the Tube to Euston train station where we stored our bags. Then we proceeded on foot to King's Cross train station to visit Platform 9 3/4. This 
was a must see for the Harry Potter fans in the group, as within King's Cross, a "Platform 9¾" sign has been erected on a wall of the station building and part of a luggage trolley disappearing into the wall has also been placed below the sign. On the way we visited the adjacent gorgeous St. Pancras station which has a beautiful Victorian Gothic facade and a magnificen
tly clean and spacious interior. The exterior of the St. Pancras station was used in the movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as it was considered more impressive than King's Cross. From here, we returned to Euston station and got a bite to eat. The food in the train station was quite good; lots of french pastry shoppes and a nice little place to get authentic British fish and chips (but don't bother with the onion rings). After lunch, we boarded the green line Big Bus Tour to continue our London sightseeing adventure.
