Trafalgar Square


 Trafalgar square is one of our favourite places in London. The huge lions are amazing to climb on. But its the entire atmosphere, full of tourists, and loungers and kids that gets to you. And not to forget..the brave peigons who it seem love being chased :)
 
Trafalgar Square is a square in central London, England. With its position in the heart of London, it is a tourist attraction, and one of the most famous squares in the United Kingdom and the world - a place to hold political demonstrations, community gatherings, and special events.

Did you know? 

Nelson's Column is in the centre of the square, surrounded by fountains  and four huge bronze lions.  Interestingly, the material used to make lions is metal from melted-cannons post war !



 
Nelson's Ship in a Bottle (24 May 2010 – present) – this work, by a leading Anglo-Nigerian artist, consists of a replica of Nelson's ship, the HMS Victory, with sails made of printed fabric in a colourful African pattern inside a large glass bottle stopped with a cork. 


Thats Vedu's Sandeep Kaka with the gallery in the background behind the fountain.
Haven't visited the National Gallery which stands magnificiently on one side of the square....sometime soon.
