The historic Trafalgar Square in the heart of London

Panoramic view of Trafalgar Square, one of London's most famous squares, dominated by the majestic Nelson's Column rising 52 meters commemorating the British victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The monumental fountains with their bronze lions welcome tourists and Londoners who rest on the steps admiring the National Gallery in the background. The square, designed by John Nash and completed in the 1840s, represents the zero milestone of British roads and the meeting point for celebrations, demonstrations and the famous Christmas tree donated every year by Norway.
