It is also a famous tourist attraction built in 1844. At the southern end of the square is Charing Cross, the traditional center of London. Further south is Whitehall, the government office area, leading to the Houses of Parliament. To the southwest is Admiralty Arch, and behind it is the Boulevard des Anglais leading to Buckingham Palace. 📍To the north of the square is the National Gallery🖼. The square is surrounded by St. Martin's Church⛪️ and the high commissions of the British Commonwealth countries such as Canada, South Africa and Malaysia. 📍Trafalgar Square is located in the center of Westminster, London. It is a very representative tourist attraction. British movies and TV series such as "Sherlock Holmes" and "Harry Potter" have also been filmed in Trafalgar Square. 📍This place is always crowded with people during holidays, and many London locals will meet people here, or sit in front of the fountain or steps, drink coffee, eat sandwiches, chat, practice skateboarding, or walk the dog. 📍Address: 🚇Subway station: Charing Cross Station

#TripToEngland #London #PiccadillyCircus When I went to London, England in October 2018, I saw the lion statue and the statue of Governor Nelson near Piccadilly Circus. This lion statue was much larger than I had imagined, sitting next to the pedestal under the statue of Governor Nelson, and each square pedestal also has a relief carved into it. The pedestal itself is very large, as it supports a large cylindrical tower, and the relief is also large. Around the subway station in Piccadilly Circus, there are many high-end brand shops, shopping areas, and restaurants. When I walked to Trafalgar Square, there were heavy stone buildings and beautiful statues, and a large fountain with a pedestal like a Baumkuchen in the center, and water flowed continuously from the disc-shaped saucer on top of the statue, which was very beautiful. It's large, so it took a while to walk around, but I was very charmed by the quiet, calm streets and old stone buildings, and I'm glad I took my time to look around. While many tourists rush around noisy places...this was the only place where I could look around at my own pace without shopping, and it was fun.

Trafalgar Square is an iconic must-visit destination in London. Its grandeur, surrounded by historic landmarks like the National Gallery and Nelson's Column, makes for a captivating sight. The bustling atmosphere, with street performers and visitors from around the world, adds to the charm. The fountains and statues provide great photo opportunities, and the square's central location makes it easily accessible. Whether you're enjoying the view or attending one of the many events held here, Trafalgar Square offers a quintessential London experience.#london

#londontrip Trafalgar Square is a well-known landmark in London, appreciated for its historical importance, beautiful architecture, and cultural significance. It serves as a central meeting point and a hub for various events, performances, and demonstrations. The prominent Nelson's Column, guarded by four lion statues, is a highlight of the square. Visitors often praise the square's open space and the chance to sit on the steps or benches, enjoying views of the surrounding attractions, such as the National Gallery. The fountains, especially the famous Fourth Plinth, where contemporary art installations are displayed, add to the overall appeal of the place. #mytripvlog#urbanexplorer#tripblazers#awesomepic#summervacation#travel #passionpassport#london

#EuropeanTravel [UK🇬🇧] Trafalgar Square full of art⛲️ Trafalgar Square is full of art From people drawing on the floor to busking, it was so romantic✨ And the free-spirited British high teens who climb up tall buildings without anyone bothering them A place that can't help but be lovely🩵 📍Trafalgar in United Kingdom

I got the earliest train I could from my closest station to King's Cross, and then finished a 3.2 mile walk to Westminster. Beautiful day, a little bit fresh in the air but lovely and clear. walked through Russel Square, up past China Town, on to Trafalgar Square and then finally past Westminster. Highly recommend taking those early trains, they're lovely and quiet, considered "off peak" so it's cheaper. The streets of London are lovely and quiet too. All I could smell in the air whilst walking through the streets was fresh pastries. I didn't have any, it did smell very good.

The Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square, London, England is one of the most famous Christmas trees in the world. Every year in early December, the much-anticipated Christmas tree lighting ceremony is held, attracting the attention of London and even the world. This Christmas tree is often tens of meters high, decorated with colorful lights, and looks particularly bright. It is the most watched Christmas tree in the UK. Norway has presented a Christmas tree to Britain every year since 1947. In previous years, celebrations have been held as usual. This four-ton tree is called the "national Christmas tree" and it symbolizes the friendship between Norway and Britain.

Absolutely a calm and relaxing place that you can find many birds and silence. No matter you go there in the morning or at night, it’s a must-visit place to spend time with.:)#trafalgarsquare #london

#meetlondon When you spend a week or more in London I defined recommend you to check out the neighborhood around Trafalgar Square. Flaying to one of the four major Airports amin London is very affordable and convenient. All airports are connected to the city center with great rapid transport trains. Trafalgar Square is not a place to only hangout go to restaurants or shopping also it is a hotspot for street artists and skateboarders. People sometimes even perform great acrobatic stunts at the stairs. It is also very popular to get a drawing of your self done within a couple of minutes. The buildings are very beautiful too#tripblazers

London's famous National Gallery! After you've seen it, come out and see the view of Trafalgar Square 💙 4:30-5:30, just before sunset, when it's at its most beautiful The view is amazing 🫶🏻

This is a landmark with great historical significance as this was where the Battle of Trafalgar between the British Royal Navy and the French and Spanish navies occurred. We really enjoyed learning about its history and appreciating the beautiful architecture of the building designs here. My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #ldninsider #tripmoments #monument #historicallandmark #architecture #london #england

I’ll definitely recommend everyone to come to this place #passionpassport #gooutside

Nice to walk all around the Trafalgar Square area despite how busy it is as it is the central area of London that divides the west and east ends. There were a lot of gates up all around Trafalgar Square and we were unable to walk into the fountain area nor up to the two lions sitting at the entrance area. It appeared that they were setting up the area for some public function as there were stacks of gates ready to be assembled. We walked all around and over the the 4th plinth where an unique modern piece of art work is displayed and is regularly updated. Presently there was a statue of a huge cupcake with frosting and a cherry with a huge ant crawling on it. It was a sight to photograph with as it was really big, colorful, and a distinguishing piece of art work. Well worth the walk over to it!!#trafalgarsquare #london #monument #lordhorationelson

Walking in Trafalgar Square next to Charing Cross Station of the London Underground, you can feel the strong cultural atmosphere. There are historically significant statues and humorous and interesting street performers. To the north of the square is the National Gallery, which displays numerous artworks and offers free admission, as well as the National Portrait Gallery, which has a rich collection. Trafalgar Square was built in 1805 to commemorate Horatio Nelson, the British national hero who defeated Napoleon's army and the Spanish fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar. In addition to being a transportation hub for London, this square is also a spiritual symbol of London. For the past two hundred years, citizens have gathered in the square to celebrate important festivals such as Christmas and New Year's Eve. It is also the venue for protests and demonstrations. #Overseas Travel

When night falls in London, how about heading to Trafalgar Square? Trafalgar Square was built in 1805 to commemorate the victory of the Battle of Trafalgar! And next to Trafalgar Square is the National Gallery. That's why many people visit during the day and often miss Trafalgar Square at night! There are many pretty sculptures such as the Lion Statue and fountain at night, and they go well with the blue sky to create a beautiful view! So be sure to visit Trafalgar Square at night! #LondonTravel #LifeTravelDestination #TrafalgarSquare #LifeShotPlace #UKTravel

On the weekend of Trafalgar Square, I will be the gentlest glimpse of London's memory in the future - the warmth of the sun, the sculptures in the vicinity, the sound of fountains not far away, the crowds of the bustle, the singing of street performers, the cultural activities after the series Everything new, every time you come here, your heart will melt [happy] and strangers' free hug, Christmas carols on the square, national gallery, candlelight Christmas Carol at Westminster Chapel, fresh and warm Mince Pie and mulled wine And there are friends who can chat with them, and the wine is not drunk and people are drunk.

#cityplaybook After two trips to London (and making all sorts of mistakes), here are a few pieces of advice: 1) Transportation Use a contactless card—daily fares are automatically capped at £8.50, which is enough to cover travel to 99% of the popular attractions across London. Night Tubes (on 5 lines) operate throughout the night on Fridays and Saturdays, making it possible to enjoy London’s nightlife without needing to spend a fortune on Uber—just stay near those lines. 2) Attraction For city skyline views, there are plenty of free options that beat the expensive Shard (for example: Horizon 22 > Sky Garden > The Garden at 120 / The Post Building > Level 10 at Tate Modern). For market hopping, Borough Market offers amazing cheeses (look for a stall with 15-month Comté and another selling a variety of liquor-infused cheeses); Leadenhall Market features beautiful classical-style architecture; Portobello Road Market is long but, in my opinion, not very exciting. For museums: many excellent museums in the UK have free admission (which is awesome), though the sheer number can be overwhelming. Prioritize the Victoria and Albert Museum and, of course, the British Museum. To see most of London’s iconic sights efficiently, consider a walk along the Thames River (over one or two days)—I recommend going from east to west, as many buildings don’t look great when backlit by the sun. #london #museum #europe #travel

London days, where every step feels like walking through a living storybook. Started my journey at Trafalgar Square, surrounded by history, art, and the buzz of the city gathered beneath the watchful gaze of the National Gallery. The architecture here never fails to impress—so much history carved into stone. Strolled towards Westminster, catching those perfect moments with Big Ben standing tall against the evening sky, the London Eye spinning stories on the horizon, and the Thames reflecting golden sunlight. There’s something about this city—the way old meets new, tradition meets adventure, and every view makes you pause and take it all in. Crowds everywhere, but still plenty of space to get lost in your thoughts and the beauty of it all. London is full of contrasts: peaceful riverbanks and lively squares, ancient landmarks and modern wonders, all wrapped up in that unique energy only London has. Already can’t wait to come back and explore even more.
