Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square was built in honor of Admiral Nelson
after his victory in 1805 at the Battle of Trafalgar. Today,
this famous square and fountain is popular with tourists and locals
alike...even the pigeons flock here!
Designed by John Nash in the 1830's, the column stands 185 feet
high and supports a 17-ft. high statue of Nelson.
Trafalgar Square is located in the heart of London. It forms the
junction of some of the London's busiest streets the Strand,
the Mall, Whitehall and Charing Cross Road.
