Review:

Trafalgar Square is one of Britain's most famed public squared, located within the City of Westminster and constructed around the area formerly known as Charing Cross. Though it is named in its modern incarnation in commemoration of the famed Battle of Trafalgar, which took place during the Napoleonic Wars in 1805, it has been a significant city landmark since the 13th century, once home to the King's Mews. It was redeveloped in 1844 by John Nash, showcasing modern statues and fountains, including the 169-foot Nelson's Column, which is guarded by four lion statues. Other artwork include the Fourth Plinth, which showcases world-class contemporary art pieces, and the smallest police box ever built, installed in the 19th century. Museums, galleries, cafes, and cultural spaces surround the square, which is often used as a space for national democracy, rallies, and protests.
