Bowled-over Twitter users are rushing to “buy lottery tickets” to afford a plush penthouse flat above London’s St Pancras hotel that has gone on sale for nearly £10million.
The 6000 sq ft three-bedroom property near the capital’s King’s Cross station even commands a £60,000 per year service fee.
The main penthouse in St Pancras Chambers occupies the top three floors of St Pancras Renaissance London Hotel, the iconic gothic building designed by George Gilbert Scott.

As well as three bedrooms, the £9,950,000 flat features two bathrooms, wooden beam-supported ceilings and views over the spires of St Pancras and beyond.
The main room of the penthouse, whose mortgage would cost over £60k a month, was once a water tower for the hotel below.
Even Zoopla boasted that the apartment “offers some of the most dramatic living space that we have ever seen”.

The main reception, they say, “is without question one of the most dramatic and unique private entertaining spaces in London.”
The large bar area allows “for entertaining on a grand scale.”
“The building now houses a selection of beautiful apartments, a world-class hotel, a private members club, gym and spa, and of course access to one of the world’s most beautiful train stations, with access straight to the heart of Paris on your doorstep,” the listing states.

And with all that being said, people are now buying lottery tickets in order to be in with a chance of owning the plush property.
“BRB – just buying some lottery tickets,” wrote one Twitter user in reaction to the listing.
Journalist David Maddox replied saying: “You would need a lottery win each year just to pay the £60k annual service charge.”
“Two lucky lottery winners last night (+£6M each) won’t be able to afford this one!!!” reasoned one person.
