Get set for the world’s biggest tiger event at St Pancras International

St Pancras International is hosting the world’s largest public event to save wild tigers. Tiger Tracks features three weeks of station-wide activity, between 1st and 21st March inclusive. Musicians, artists, authors, conservationists, retailers and members of the public come together for the first time to save wild tigers. You’ll likely spot a famous face or two throughout Tiger Tracks too!

While many of the events will be free, we encourage station visitors to help tigers by donating funds to the Save Wild Tigers initiative with all profits going to the Born Free Foundation and Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) tiger conservation projects.There are an estimated 3,500 tigers left in the wild. If we do nothing wild tigers could be extinct within 10 years. If we act now we aim to double wild tigers in by 2022.
