The railways in Britain do not use an "Ordinal indicator" after the day of the month for train ticket dates.
The train ticket would have stated "ST PANCRAS" as the origin station and not "LONDON" as there are many stations in London.
Had St Pancras been the destination station then the ticket would have been pre-printed with "London St Pancras", which was later changed to "LONDON TERMINALS" on the more generic style tickets.

When Tony finds the train tickets in his wallet the style of the ticket is not correct for 1985.
A ticket from London St Pancras, at that time, would have been a destination specific BR 4578 which was a little shorter, as it was credit-card size, and had some information including the destination pre-printed.
