A statue of Harry Kane, costing £7,200 ($9k) and commissioned in 2019 by Waltham Forest Council, has been revealed after being hidden in storage for five years. The statue, intended to honor the footballer's achievements in his hometown of Chingford, faced difficulties in finding a suitable location for its placement, leading to its prolonged storage. Initially rejected by TfL for placement on a train platform, the sculpture has yet to find a permanent home, with suggestions such as the Skechers HQ lobby being proposed. Public reaction to the statue has been mixed, with some fans expressing disappointment in its design.
