It is a great memorial to Nicholas Winton and those volunteers who helped hundreds of children escape the war. You can find this statue behind the southernmost building next to the platform.

This statue stands in tribute to Sir Nicholas Winton, a British humanitarian who organised the Czech Kindertransport and saved the lives of hundreds of children. This monument depicts a man with two children getting ready to depart. There's expressions are of sadness, showing that even in being saved, it shows that their departure was also sadness for the children going into the unknown, away from their families. The statue is difficult to find as both TA and Google maps show an odd placement. It can be found on Platform 1. I spent some time looking for this and only managed to see this after arriving on the platform after a day trip. So I’m not sure if a ticket is required to get onto the platform.
A tear-dropping sight, a really beautiful monument to a hero who saved 669 Jewish children.
Sad to remember, dangerous to forget. 80 years ago today the first Czech Kindertransport train set off towards London from Prague's main railway station. This journey saved 669 children from the horrors of WWII. Today, we honor Nicholas Winton the man who made it possible. I visited the statue today on the anniversary to give my thanks.
A simple but very moving and suitable memorial. See the memorial outside the Liverpool Street Station in London relating to the arrival of these children, to complete the picture.
Forever?
The street and station should be named after him, not Wilson.
