Piccadilly Circus is one of London's most famous landmark and sightseeeing attraction. The junction of five busy streets in the centre of London, Picadilly Circus is dominated by huge neon advertising signs. At its heart is a bronze fountain topped by a figure of a winged archer. The statue is popularly called EROS, the pagangod of love, but it was in fact designed in the 19th century as a symbol of Christian charity - a monument to Lord Shaftesbury, a philanthropist.
