JOHN BETJEMAN

This seven-foot high statue of poet laureate Sir John Betjeman is located on the main concourse of St Pancras station. Sculptured by Martin Jennings, it has stood there since 12th November 2007. The statue depicts him walking into the new station for the first time and looking up at the arc of the train shed structure and is in honour of all the efforts he put into saving the station from development plans during the 1960s.
