    Yes Omobolaji Raimi‍  you are correct.


    British artist Paul Day was commissioned to do a sculpture for St Pancras International station. He sculpted "The Meeting Place" as an embracing couple to evoke the romance of travel. This was completed in 2007 ready for the official opening of the station. "The Meeting Place" is made of bronze, is 30 feet (9 metres) high, 20 tonnes in weight, and stands at the south end upper level underneath the station clock. The clock is a replica of the original which had been damaged in the 1970s.


    Look out for another quick quiz question.
