I'm sure that on your next visit, you'll notice that St Pancras is not in the CC zone, and neither is Euston Road, the ring road you probably first encountered. There's no need to enter the CC zone to get to the M3, and indeed to do so you have to ignore a forest of warning signs.Sven Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817973380286992641noreply@blogger.com
