See Bela Bartók

A statue to the Hungarian composer Bela Bartók was first unveiled outside South Kensington Tube Station in October 2004, taking a brief break between 2009 and 2011, and being re-installed last Autumn.

The position was chosen for the statue due to its proximity to 7 Sydney Place, where Bartók stayed when performing in London, and it was designed by Hungarian sculptor, Imre Varga.

    Small correction - Bartok was Hungarian, probably why the sculptor is Hungarian :-)

    Thanks for posting this! I walked by this statue at least 20 times last week and didn't know who it was or why it was there.
