Main article: Criterion Theatre The Criterion
Theatre, a Grade II* listed building, stands on the
south side of London Flat Share Piccadilly Circus.

the seats inside.

as a theatre on March 21, 1874, although original plans

Gilbert described Anteros as portraying 'reflective
and mature love, as opposed to Eros or Cupid,
the frivolous tyrant.' The model for the sculpture
was Gilbert's studio assistant, a 16 year-old
Italian, Angelo Colarossi (born 1875)[3]. The
London Flat Share fountain, when originally
placed, was meant to have Anteros pointing his
bow south towards Wimborne St Giles in Dorset,
which was the Earl's country seat. The archers
arrow was also aimed so as to bury its shaft in
Shaftesbury Avenue.
When the memorial was unveiled, there were numerous
London Flat Share complaints. Some felt it
was sited in a vulgar part of town (the theatre
district) and others felt that it was too sensual
as a memorial for a famously sober and respectable
Earl.

London Flat Share some of the objections
were tempered by renaming the statue as The Angel
of Christian Charity[citation needed], which
was the nearest approximation that could be invented
in Christian terms for the role Anteros played
in the Greek pantheon.
But the name never became widely known, and the
original name came back, erroneously under the
shortened form Eros, London Flat Share signifying
the God of Sensual Love; quite inappropriate to
commemorate the Earl, but just right to signify
the carnal neighbourhood of London, into which
Soho had developed.
