Trafalgar Square is one of London’s most iconic public spaces, steeped in an incredibly famous history and buzzing with energy. Located in the heart of the city, Trafalgar Square draws visitors from all around the world. Named after the Battle of Trafalgar (a decisive British naval victory in 1805), the square has been a central gathering place for celebrations, protests, and public events for centuries.
At the centre of the square stands Nelson’s Column, a towering monument dedicated to Admiral Lord Nelson, who led the British fleet to victory at Trafalgar. Surrounding the column are four massive bronze lions, which have become some of the most recognisable symbols of London.
The square is also home to the National Gallery, one of the world’s most renowned art museums, housing masterpieces by artists like Van Gogh, Monet, and da Vinci. Just a short walk away, you’ll find other famous landmarks, including The National Portrait Gallery, St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church, and The Strand, leading towards Covent Garden and Westminster. Plus, Angry Crab Shack is just a 6 minute stroll away…
