The Sir John Betjeman Statue

Poet, Sir John Betjeman led a campaign to save St. Pancras Station and the Chambers from demolition in the 1960's. In tribute to the famous poet and railway enthusiast an 8.5ft sculpture by Martin Jennings has been designed to celebrate the man and his poetry.

Did you know that Sir John's coat-tail was designed to emulate the shape of the station's Barlow train shed roof?
