About Trafalgar London
Trafalgar Square, often abbreviated simply as Trafalgar, is located in central London, England, UK, and it's considered to be one of the most famous squares in the Unite Kingdom, and the world. The name of the square commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, which took place in 1805, a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars. Its name would have been "King William the Fourth's Square", but George Ledwell Taylor suggested the name "Trafalgar Square".
It is a major attractions in the beautiful city of London, its centerpiece being Nelson's Column, guarded by four lion statues at its base, a monument risen to commemorate the death of Admiral Nelson, at the Battle of Trafalgar. There are numerous other statues on display in the square, including a fourth plinth displaying changing pieces of contemporary art. Due its beauty and historical heritage, the square is often used for political demonstrations and community gatherings, such as the celebration of New Year's Eve in London, one of the city's most popular annual events.
Trafalgar Square has become a social and political location for visitors and Londoners alike, blossoming from "an esplanade peopled with figures of national heroes, into the country's foremost place politique", as historian Rodney Mace stated in its writings. It carries a significant symbolic importance and it is also one of the most "historic" and most visited places in the UK.
