Autumn in Paris, 2009
And now by Eurostar from St. Pancras International to Paris Gare du Nord and without the inconvenience of crossing London by tube or taxi.
Sir John Betjeman was responsible for saving both the St Pancras chambers and the station from demolition in the 1960s. Erected as a tribute to the famous poet and railway enthusiast, a sculpture by Martin Jennings now stands at platform level to celebrate the man and his poetry. The sculpture has the poet looking up in awe at the splendour of the Barlow shed whilst holding on to his hat
