The Shaftesbury memorial fountain or best known as the statue of Eros was erected here in 1892 and almost became a trademark of the city. It is a memorial to the Earl of Shaftesbury. Piccadilly Circus (In London, circus means circle) was created also by John Nash. 4 major streets meet here – Regent Street, Piccadilly, Shaftesbury Avenue, and Covent Street.
