A 1965 memorial bust of John F. Kennedy by Jacques Lipchitz stands in the lobby of International Students House on Great Portland Street in London, England,[1] and is visible from the outside through the glass doors. It was moved there in April 2019 from its original location on the Marylebone Road,[2] to the west of Great Portland Street underground station, after it was vandalised in 2017.[3][4]
