LONDON -- It's not every day you get to see Elton John casually tickling the ivories in a random London train station.

Anyone who happened to be passing through St Pancras on Thursday afternoon, though, was greeted by exactly that strange sight.

Plenty of passersby grabbed pictures and video of the music legend doing his thing.

After busting out a few tunes, Elton proceeded to sign the piano as his "gift to the station."
