Scala lighting


When we lived in Lincolnshire and travelled by train to London we would arrive in the capital at King's Cross station. This is  a marvellous location for photography next to several other marvellous locations for photography, including St Pancras station and hotel. At night, one of the lesser attractions is the lit-up facade of Scala outside King's Cross on Pentonville Road. This is a former cinema that has been turned into a nightclub and live music venue. It looks unremarkable during the day. But, when lit up at night, the white paintwork, windows, columns, arches, cornices and rustication, as well as the well-judged neon sign, make a splendid sight.
