BTW watching the last BBC programmes recently, to me the whole idea of
the statue being an icon for the station has failed on two counts; (1)
the tall glass screens and posts completely ruin any long distance view
of the sculpture and (2) it's not really at a focal point of the station,
as all domestic pax are routed through the undercroft retail area.
Indeed. I've been through the place three times this week, and
it was only when someone mentioned it here today that I
remembered it existed.
I haven't seen it at all - suppose I'll have to go upstairs and have
a look now!

I like the statue; it is quite impressive, and people seem to be
photographing it, but I suppose what sticks in your throat is all the PR
guff about the statue being a place for people to meet, like Eros in
Piccadilly Circus. Those sort of places arise naturally, they're not
designed in.
Of course it would be a disaster if all passengers in and around KX/St.P
were routed through the same spot!
