Embrace
Under the clock at Waterloo it might not be but St Pancras will soon sport its own rendezvous point, a statue of a couple having a cuddle. London & Continental Railways, the company behind High Speed One and the £800m restoration of St Pancras International station, has unveiled the designs of ‘The Meeting Place’ – a bronze sculpture that will dominate the southern end of the magnificent Barlow train shed at St Pancras International. ‘The Meeting Place’ depicts a couple in romantic embrace and is the work of British sculptor, Paul Day. The nine metre high sculpture will stand on a specially commissioned plinth beneath the new station clock. Says Mr Day, ‘I have tried to understand the nature and spirit of the place to create a work that looks as if it should always have been there. I have given the figures a timeless solidity but also sought a quietness of form that doesn’t agitate the eye.
