Trafalgar Square |

|
Trafalgar Square is still one of London`s greatest architectural set pieces. John Nash designed the basic layout in the 1820s, but died long before the square took its present form.
The Neoclassical National Gallery filled up the northern side of the square in 1838, followed shortly afterwards by the square`s central focal point, Nelson`s Column; the famous bronze lions didn`t arrive until 1868, and the fountains didn`t take their present shape until the eve of World War II. |
