the most common mis understanding of kings cross/st pancras is that they are both in an area of london called 'kings cross' in actual fact st pancras is the area and kings cross was so named because it stands on the site of a cross which was built to remember a king (can't remember which one), hence king's cross. the cross no longer exists but chin up cos they have half a luggage trolley now! I can only imagine st. pancras was a local lord or baron or something.
