Betjeman, John

One of Britain's most cherished poets, and a passionate defender of all things unfashionably Victorian. Erstwhile saviour of St. Pancras Station where there is a statue to him. Yes, they really were going to demolish it. Poet laureate from 1972-1984. Known for his gently humorous verse lovingly grounded in the everyday.
