A stroll through Trafalguar Square

I have read a lot about this venue in many novels. In fact it was my father who had first expressed desire of visting this place of which he had heard from so long. Unfortunately, we could not make it while Appa was there, but went later with Amma one weekend.

Trafalgar Square is a square in central London. With its position in the heart of London, it is a tourist attraction; and one of the most famous squares in the United Kingdom and the world.

At its centre is Nelson's Column, which is guarded by four lion statues at its base.

Statues and sculptures are on display in the square, including a fourth plinth displaying changing pieces of contemporary art, and it is a site of political demonstrations.

Though at the time when we visited, there was some magic show going on in the middle.

The southern end of the square was the original Charing Cross which to this day is considered the heart of London, from which all distances are measured. The square in itself is surrounded by important buildings

As per wikipedia, Trafalgar Square ranks as the fourth most popular tourist attraction on earth with more than 15 million annual visitors. I had taken a video of the surroundings which though not the best, does certainly show the importance this place holds among tourist.
