The Midland Grand, a landmark Victorian hotel in St. Pancras, was designed by architect George Gilbert Scott and built in 1865 on a old Roman settlement. Although it was closed in the 1960s, the hotel has always been considered a fine example of Gothic revival architecture. Both visitors and paranormal investigators have reported a multitude of paranormal activity and ghostly sightings haunting its stairwells, rooms and basements over the years.
