This year, Piccadilly Circus's Eros statue has been decorated for Christmas. The statue was sculpted by Alfred Gilbert and is not of Eros but of Eros' brother Anteros for Shafestbury Memorial; the figure points down Shafestbury Avenue. This Christmas, the statue is surrounded by a snowglobe that contains 'snow' blowing around inside of it.
