Named
after the 19th century Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory
during the inaugural years of the Napoleonic Wars, Trafalgar Square is often
referred to as the centre of modern London. Lined with iconic landmarks and
well-loved restaurants, Trafalgar Square is one of the city’s most popular
tourist attractions.
At the
centre of the square, visitors will find Nelson’s Column – a towering monument
that honours the bravery of Admiral Horatio Nelson, who died during the aforementioned
battle.
However,
there’s more to Trafalgar Square than its fascinating bank of history. The square
has also been the site of mass political protests and demonstrations. In 1958,
the square was occupied by those from the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and
in 2009, members from the Camp for Climate Action occupied the square.
These
days, the square is known for its pioneering commercial spirit and vibrant
cultural atmosphere.
