John Betjeman

Still in London, had a couple of meetings at the Excel centre before getting the train home.


This is the statue in St Pancras station of John Betjeman.


"The statue is standing on a disc of Cumbrian slate inscribed with Betjeman's name and dates and the words 


"Who saved this glorious station".


Round the rim, Jennings has chosen words from the poem Cornish Cliffs: "And in the shadowless unclouded glare / Deep blue above us fades to whiteness where / A misty sea-line meets the wash of air." 


The lines aptly describe the arching roof of St Pancras station"
