Trafalgar Square

"Trafalgar Square is a bustling public square in central London, renowned for its historical and cultural significance. Named to commemorate the British naval victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, it features the towering Nelson’s Column, flanked by four grand lion statues. The square is a popular gathering place for both locals and tourists, and it hosts various events, from public demonstrations to festive celebrations. Surrounded by notable landmarks such as the National Gallery and the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square serves as a vibrant hub of activity and a focal point of London’s civic life."

"As you leave Trafalgar Square, make your way towards the National Gallery, where the first Christmas market awaits. Take in the sight of the Candelabrum adorned with candles🕯️, each representing the days that have passed since the beginning of Hanukkah. Within the Christmas market, you'll encounter a variety of stalls offering everything from crêpes, churros, waffles, and chocolate bars 🍫 to vendors serving up sausages, hot dogs and beers 🍺. Additionally, explore numerous stands featuring handmade crafts and antiques. Hope yo get better luck with the weather than I did! 😊 "

"Just in front of the National Gallery, this is a perfect spot to take a break. If the weather allows it, you can just sit on the big stairs or near the fountain. In summer this square is full of young people, just chilling and having a good time. There is also a community of skaters who meet there to spend time and street performers, from drawing to singing to dancing, all sorts of things. I love to come here during sunset time as it shows a big portion of the sky and you can even see the Big Ben far away in the background. "
