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. |

But the decoration around the plinth is definitely worth a look. Video he http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGPTu5ES7DE 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. |
