King's Cross Station — Western Concourse
This is the best modern transport interior in London. The 150-year-old brick façade and the new steel canopy work as a dialogue, not a collision.
John McAslan's 2012 western concourse: a steel-and-glass half-dome erupting from behind Lewis Cubitt's 1852 brick train shed. The structural logic is exposed and beautiful.
