Geoff:
Yes, it was a Millennium thing actually opened in 2000, and there were the 
Dome and the Bridge - the latter of these  I am suddenly reminded features 
in HBP.

The other silly thing about the films is that they always use the exterior of St. 
Pancras railway station for the Hogwarts Express scenes but use Kings Cross 
itself for the interior shots. The two stations are about 100 yards apart, having 
been built by different railway companies (the Midland and the Great Northern) 
in the 19th century.
