To Trafalgar Square!
The name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars. The original name was to have been "King William the Fourth's Square", but George Ledwell Taylor suggested the name "Trafalgar Square".
The fountains are memorials to Lord Jellicoe (western side) and Lord Beatty (eastern side), Jellicoe being the Senior Officer.[2]
Sculpture at the fountain.
St Martin-in-the-Fields church.
The National Gallery to the north of the square.
If you love arts, you can visit The National Gallery.
Admission is free, but you can donate to the fund.
People.
Pigeons.
One of the four huge bronze lions sculpted by Sir Edwin Landseer; the metal used is said to have been recycled from the cannon of the French fleet.
Taming the lions~
We climbed up the statue of Horatio Nelson, the admiral who commanded the British Fleet at Trafalgar.
One fine day in London~ Yippie!
I tried to climb up the lion statue but.... the surface of the bronze is so slippery that I hardly could make a step onto it's butt. Plus.... I'm too short... AArrrggHhhhh....
The statue of King George IV.
The statue of Sir Henry Havelock.
"Sir Henry do you have-key too?"
Ok just ignore my lame joke.
Superimposed this. I love it.
