Trafalgar Square is a bit like Times Square in London, and is part of the city that never seems to sleep. You'll find big name shops, the National Gallery, family attractions and a great number of restaurants. Trafalgar Square is located in the City of Westminster, and is home to a statue that commemorates Lord Nelson's 1805 naval victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. As one of the most iconic squares in London, it has always been open to the public and is often regarded as the heart of the city. Surrounding you, you'll have The Strand and The Mall, and are perfectly positioned at Trafalgar Square to enjoy the rest of the city. Charing Cross is the nearest tube station, with an exit that leads out onto Trafalgar Square.
