  Picadilly's Angel
by MedioLatino
 
 

Favorite thing: On Picadilly Circus you can find a small statue of the Angel of Christian Charity myde by Alfred Gilbert, erected in 1893 in memory of the Victorian philanthropist, Lord Shaftesbury.

Today, however, the statue is commonly regarded as Eros, the Greek god of love (No wonder...this youngsters of today...:).

The area around the statue is a general meeting place for the people going to the theatres or to the night spots of the Soho.

Do not set meetings with people you heaven't met already...it will be hard to spot someone in the crowd...:)

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
