"Actually, it's a glowing ballet dancer slowly rotating at the top, but thanks to being incredibly difficult to photograph close up and keep the details, it really does look like the famous Doctor Who weapon/villain. What we're told is that there's a musical box on the base, and you can press some buttons next to the benches to play music."
"Some steampunk-esque windows at the base don't seem to do anything, but do include messages from children at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Officially, the tree is also a fundraiser for the hospital charity. The railway station describes it as "an unmissable Christmas destination", which, as Sir Humphrey once said, causes "epistemological problems of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear.""
St Pancras station's annual branded Christmas tree features a glowing ballet dancer slowly rotating at the top that visually resembles Doctor Who's Silver Nemesis. The figure is difficult to photograph up close, which emphasizes the likeness and creates an awkward viewing angle underneath. A musical box at the base allows visitors to play music via buttons next to the benches. The tree's long vertical series of baubles evokes a DNA strand or a carousel. Steampunk-style windows at the base contain messages from children at Great Ormond Street Hospital. The installation also functions as a fundraiser for the hospital charity and is labeled an unmissable Christmas destination.
