There are SUPER lots of people. It's like Times Square in New York. Maybe because of YouTubers, I put barricades in the fountain, so I couldn't see them at all. It's located in the center, so it's open in all directions, so I think I can go anywhere. There are large electronic boards and musical theaters. It's a fun place.

A plaza in the middle of London. It is famous for its big advertising screens and the statue. The plaza may be a bit like Times Square but smaller. Other from what is there not really much to see, there is some nice shops nearby. The plaza is highly popular and it has much traffic around it and it is easy to get there via bus or train. But it is not possible to park your car nearby.

One of London’s most curious landmarks is the statue of Eros, also known as the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, at Piccadilly Circus

The Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain is an iconic part of Piccadilly Circus. The fountain is situated on a paved octagonal platform surrounded by two flights of steps. On the platform, there is a bronze pedestal that has a large octagonal basin. This was intended for people to access water from this basin

The fountain was put in Piccadilly to commemorate Antony Ashley Cooper, the seventh Earl of Shaftesbury

The statue was cast in aluminum, which was a relatively new material at the time, and was unveiled in 1893 to great acclaim. Today, Eros remains one of London’s most iconic landmarks and a testament to Gilbert’s artistic vision.

A beautiful piece of art is not given enough attention. There should be surrounding lighting for this magnificent piece of work, sadly not. Daytime viewing is highly recommended.
