Doesn't the metropolis extend down into Surrey?

Also of note: the exterior shot of "Kings Cross" appeared to be St
Pancras, which is *much* better looking (KX is a bit of a toilet from the
outside). Trivia corner - St Pancras has the largest single span arch
supporting a station anywhere, and it's held together by being tied
together under the tracks.

The chances of being able to get from London to the Glenfinnan viaduct in
daylight are also pretty slim...
