The statue of former Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman (1906 - 1984), a BIG hero of mine for his love of London and its stations and railways in general, plus his evocative poetry, who valiantly tried but failed to save the original Euston station of 1837 from the bulldozers (a case of legalised vandalism if ever there was) but who was, thankfully, more successful in saving St. Pancras station from suffering the same fate. Seen here on the concourse of the station he rescued, on 7th May 2016. The statue is by British sculptor Martin Jennings and was unveiled in November 2007 when the station reopened as the Eurostar Channel Tunnel terminus. Mr. Jennings also designed the statue of poet Philip Larkin unveiled at Hull Paragon station in 2010.
