Someone has uploaded a picture to wikipedia of teh statue outside the H&C/Met/Circle Edgear Road station en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:EdgwareRoadStationStatue.jpgUnforutanately they didn't know any details of who it is of. To me it looks like a window cleaner. I've not found anything after a fair amount of googling, can anyone here help? Chris

the window cleaner is looking up towards the top of a tall office block opposite the station. as such it isn't anything to do with lu.

Fair enough, but does anyone know anything about it? admin: perhaps this should be moved to the General Qs area

All I can say is that it was commisioned in 1990 for Capital House, the building that the Cleaner is looking at (which I only noticed the other day - after 3 1/2 years, he's peering right to the top) I don't think it has any relevance to anything, but will ask around. The artist's website is here www.mike.bennett.org/Someone has just told me that the window cleaner was in fact modelled on a Circle driver who moonlighted in order to get get out of three circles... never ;D
