London 01 09 Piccadilly Circus  [7 of 13]


Peter and I walked to the famous London landmark Piccadilly Circus. Backlit by colourful electric displays is a bronze fountain topped by a figure of a winged archer, popularly called Eros, the pagan god of love. The archer was in fact designed in the 19th century as a symbol of Christian charity - a monument to Lord Shaftesbury, a philanthropist. Pete and I played a game of ‘Find Peter’. Now, where is he?
