♥..Destination 04 :: Trafalgar Square, England..♥

Trafalgar Square is a large city square commemorating Lord Horatio Nelson’s victory against Napoleon’s navy at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. It located in City of Westminster, WC2N 5DN, United Kingdom.

The central monument within the square is a single tall column on which the figure of Nelson stands gazing over London.

His monument is surrounded by four colossal lions and a series of large fountains.

Much more than just an open plaza, Trafalgar Square is one of the most famous city squares in the world and has become a social and political location for tourists and Londoners alike.

Trafalgar Square is a public space and tourist attraction in central London, built around the area formerly known as Charing Cross.

It is in the borough of the City of Westminster. 
At its centre is Nelson's Column, which is guarded by four lion statues at its base.

There are a number of statues and sculptures in the square, with one plinth displaying changing pieces of contemporary art. 

The square is also used for political demonstrations and community gatherings, such as the celebration of New Year's Eve.

Trafalgar Square owned by the Queen in Right of the Crown, and managed by the Greater London Authority, while Westminster City Council owns the roads around the square, including the pedestrianised area of the North Terrace.
