Tender raised for London statue (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eros

'london statue' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tender raised' is the wordplay.
'tender' becomes 'sore' ('sore' can be a synonym of 'tender').
'raised' is a reversal indicator.
'sore' backwards is 'EROS'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for eros that I've seen before include "Greek god of love - see statue in Piccadilly" , "Pagan god" , "Group of instincts" , "Deity" , "Greek name of Cupid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
