So in St. Pancras there is a statue which is rather massive and twee of couple saying goodbye (nay, farewell!) he looks has a displaced backpack and she has not very nice shoes - anyways much, much more interesting is the base on which they are standing - it is this gorgeously itricate bronze of all sorts of people that have used and still continue to use the railway. Michelle and I both liked the bored looking men.
You must excuse the flash/non-flash thing as we were in a hurry to catch head down to the river. Anyways it is called 'The Meeting Place and is by Paul Day. [The view of the couple here is totally unrealistic as you can't GET that high to see that unless you are on a cherry picker!]
There are also some Olympic rings, in case you forget.
And for some reason we didn't see the cute little Betjeman statue so next time.
