Where can I see a statue of Brunel?

Problem
Where is Brunel?

Answer
Here he is, seated on Paddington station.

If you arrive on the underground train (for example from Queens Park), at the top of the long escalator, you see the exits and ticket office in front of you. Instead take the right hand corridor. At the end turn right and exit through the barrier. Ahead is a very short escalator. Alternative take a lift. This rings you out almost opposite the platform with seated Brunel.

What a magnificent roof the station has. Upstairs are some shops and restaurants. Engineer Bruneal sits surveying it all. I imgaine he must feel pretty pleased.
