Meting Point statue in St Pancras
 

I've only seen this on the TV before, but last night I saw it IRL. I
didn't realise that there are a series of dioramas around the base that
are quite staggering and well worth seeing.

Yes, I think they're terrific, full of humour and history, and much
better than the large kissing couple. I've studied them more than once
(when I arrived early for a E* train), and always find something new
that I'd previously missed.

Almost anything is better than the large kissing couple. But the
decoration around the plinth is definitely worth a look.

I think the statue of John Betjeman takes some beating.

Yes they are really good. The only bad side to them is that they are
assisting in the permanence of the cthulhuesque horror above them.
