London’s symbol of love and desire, Eros (Cupid to the Romans), is spending the festive season inside a giant snow globe.
This large christmas decoration measures 15 metres in diameter, has 2 fans to keep it inflated and 8 snow blowing machines to create the requisite blizzard. Base included, it stands as tall as a 5 storey building.
The purpose is not entirely decorative, mind you. Poor old Eros, god of love, becomes the target of festive revellers each year, and this is a creative way of providing some protection, much better than last year when he was simply shrouded in advertising hoardings.

That’s one BIG snow globe. It practically deserves its own zip code!
