TRAFALGAR SQUARE

TRAFALGAR SQUARE

London WC2. Tube: Charing Cross. Conceived by John Nash and constructed during the 1830s.
This beautiful square is dominated by a central 165 foot Corinthian column commemorating Admiral Nelson, who died at the Battle of Trafalgar against Napoleon in 1805. Four huge bronze lions guard the base of the column, whilst two fountains designed by Lutyens play nearby.
