Hi All,
I like the statue; it is quite impressive, and people seem to be
photographing it, but I suppose what sticks in your throat is all the PR
guff about the statue being a place for people to meet, like Eros in
Piccadilly Circus. Those sort of places arise naturally, they're not
designed in.
Agreed - its a rubbish meeting place as its out of the way for nearly all
passenger flows. These things (as you say) do come naturally - my favourite
being "Underneath the clock" at Waterloo. Wasn't designed in, but in reality
one of the best places to stand in the station, out of the way of commuters,
central and always obvious.
Of course it would be a disaster if all passengers in and around KX/St.P
were routed through the same spot!
They've already solved that with the signage situation!
Best Wishes,
LEWIS
