Discover The Composer’s Cabin

Following its Silver Medal success at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, The Composer’s Cabin has arrived at St. Pancras International. Designed by Martha Krempel and inspired by the beauty and importance of UK peatland landscapes, the installation combines peatland-inspired interactive planting, a bog soundscape, and a self-playing Steinway & Sons grand piano.

Located on the station concourse, the adapted installation invites visitors to experience the sights, sounds and stories of Britain’s peatlands while highlighting the vital role they play in supporting biodiversity and climate control.
