There were excursions by train from London to Bristol and, through "Metro-land", to Quainton Road; Lycett Green unveiled a commemorative plaque at Marylebone station to mark Betjeman's fond association with the railways.

Read the full article. Audiobooks: John Betjeman. Christina Hardyment celebrates the wit of Betjeman. September 2 2006, 1:00am, The Times. Thanks to John Betjeman’s mordant, tender rhymes, Edwardian Essex and Twenties Oxford, Letchworth and Slough, Surrey and, Henley and Trebetherick are eternally peopled with tennis-playing girls and sweaty subalterns, impoverished Irish peers and Cortina-driving salesmen. Betjeman could be Edward Lear and Wordsworth in a single poem. The centenary of his birth has produced many tributes to the ruffled innocent who sang England and the combined joy and pathos of small things. A generous dose of his wit and wisdom is contained in John Betjeman: A First-Class Collection (BBC, CDs, £1. 9, offer £1. 9).
