Summary

[edit]
Description

The poet spearheaded the campaign to stop St Pancras from being demolished. Even if he had never written a line of poetry, he would deserve a statue for this alone.

Note the beautiful Midland red brick with candy-stripe around the Gothic windows. It makes a wonderful contrast with the steel blue of the giant struts.

In style, scale and grandeur, this is no less than a cathedral of the modern age.

Now, where's the Brussels train......?
