St Pancras station IS a public place
Technically, under the 1972 Criminal Justice Act (Sect 33), yes it is.
However the law has become far more nuanced than that, especially over the last 15 years or so, and the more recognised term is now either a private space with public
access or the slightly more catchy POPS - Privately Owned Public Space. Both of which amount to the same thing; ie that the owner has a measure of control over access and activity that would not exist in a truly public space, such as a public highway.
There's a decent explanation here, just scroll down to the UK part. The major caveat is that the article concatenates English and Welsh law with Scottish to an extent - which is obviously not correct.
