- GertieGertLondon, United Kingdom233 contributionsAs a Londoner I didn’t recognise this super-clean square!Oh dear, here I am a Londoner who hasn’t been up to Trafalgar Sq for years! Well, on retirement I decided to get out there and act like a tourist and I was SO impressed with this super-cleaned up area! Only three pigeons strolling around who a fellow “tourist” told me hadn’t got the memo as they allegedly send up a bird of prey at dawn to warn off the pigeons - if it’s true what a great idea! I don’t dislike wild life but they used to ruin Nelson’s Column and the fountains which now look pristine! I highly suggest a visit here - and to stroll around discovering little pockets of extra history too!Visited October 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 23, 2023
- Madan Gopal MBengaluru, India8,450 contributionsIconic Square.We got down from hop on hop off bus at this point to explore and experience. This is an iconic public square with rich history and heritage. Located in the City of Westminster, this beautiful square attracts tourists and locals. As we went there during Christmas we could feel the vibrancy and all the activities. We could also see a beautiful Christmas tree donated by Norway which has been a traditional practice for decades. The Nelson's Column is another great attraction. A must visit to understand the history of centuries.Visited December 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten January 8, 2024
- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,629 contributionsStatue of a great man and leaderTrafalgar Square is a special site in the center of the city of London. We have visited this special site several times and explored this area. Among the outstanding thing from the English history is the tall statue of Horation Nelson. Nelson won an exceptional navy battle against France. His triumph has never been forgotten in England; he died during this battle. Nelson's statue is worth a trip to the busy Trafalgar Square. We loved. our trip here, the Trafalgar Square is marvelous for visitors and locals..Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 28, 2024
- The_Concierge_8Trinidad and Tobago3,789 contributionsPlenty Vitamin P! Tribute to Horatio Nelson is a very cool area with a nice entertaining, happy vibe! LOVED THE LIONS!Nothing truly prepares you for your first sight of Trafalgar square. Apart from the historic importance and tribute of the space, I've never seen so many imposing statues all together, especially those magnificent lions! There was music around us from street performers and it was a really cool vibe and lots of social activity. It's a great place to just stretch your legs and relax during sightseeing the city, have a packed lunch and a drink, listen to music and get some Vitamin P; that is people-watching.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 10, 2024
- laneyislay148 contributionsA lovely spot - not to be missedI loved Trafalgar square! It's such a lovely, relaxing place. We were there on a lovely sunny day - we sat on the steps, watched the world go by while listening to the performers singing. The fountains are lovely as are the statues. The perfect spot for a visit with friends, I could have sat there for hours!Visited April 2024Traveled with friendsWritten April 16, 2024
- Cheekycockney190757Basildon, United Kingdom11,485 contributionsGreat location near other equally great attractionsVisited twice in January 2024 on separate visits. As a location, it's easy to reach if you're in London. A lot of attractions are nearby so we walked from Leicester Square on one visit and on another went onto the Mall and back to Westminster. The main attractions are Nelson's column, fountains and sculptures. One of which is the statue of Charles I which is London’s oldest bronze statue. It was originally commissioned by the Lord Treasurer for his house at Roehampton in 1630 but was put into hiding during the Civil War. It was re-erected at its present site by Charles II in 1675. Lots of traffic which to cross is quite confusing, so be careful and look both ways. I visited during the day and night and on both visits felt safe. Nearby is the National Portrait Gallary just behind the National Gallary. as well as the London Coliseum.Visited January 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 24, 2024
- gfsc5Perth, Australia1,790 contributionsGathering spotThis landmark square with the very famous Nelson's column is a very popular spot to meet. Lots of people gathered around. Lots of lovely old building surround the place and well worth a visit.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 19, 2024
- Joshane615Australia614 contributionsMust see!Trafalgar Square is a must see when in London. Our hotel was a few minutes walk away and the perfect location so we went here a few times during our stay. Every time we were blown away. It is an absolute beautiful Square. The fountains are lovely.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 25, 2024
- zuvBucharest, Romania37,779 contributionsAn emblematic squareA large, very beautiful square. Here are two emblematic monuments for London: Nelson's Column and the National Gallery. There are also some beautiful artesian fountains and a church with beautiful architecture, Saint Martin in the Fields.Visited May 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 5, 2024
- JSSAmberCambridge, United Kingdom678 contributionsPeople, plinths, and cultureAn extraordinary place for people-watching, there is also free culture all around. The Nelson memorial (don't say he looks like Napoleon!) is imposing and a great topic of conversation, as are the three permanent and one changing statues around the square.Visited September 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 2, 2024

- Bloomsbury HotelsSnuggly nestled within Central London is academic and leafy Bloomsbury, an area that boasts walking distance access to many of London's most popular attractions. It is also home to some of Britain's most celebrated museums, including the must-see British Museum. Despite an understandable popularity with students, tourists and day trippers, vast sections of Bloomsbury retain a quiet, residential feel year round and throughout the week.Read more
- South Kensington HotelsWith its ivied mews, row upon row of Poppins-esque white washed mansions, and placid garden squares, it's easy to see the charms of South Kensington. And with superb access to Hyde Park, Holland Park and Kensington Gardens, as well as the largely child-friendly and mostly free Museum Quarter (not to mention more major attractions like Royal Albert Hall) such charms are easy to make the most of. As welcoming and cosmopolitan as it is reserved and residential, South Kensington is always a hit with visitors.Read more
- Whitechapel HotelsWhether you're here for its dynamic street life, world class galleries or famed curry houses, you're bound to be wowed by the uniquely cosmopolitan flavor of Whitechapel. Long gone are the days when Jack the Ripper stalked its streets. And despite his mysterious legacy bringing throngs of curiosity driven tour groups to its back alleys and otherwise serene garden squares, these days you're more likely to catch a cutting edge fashionista scurrying through its age old lanes than criminals of any sort.Read more
- East End / East London HotelsRead more
- City of London HotelsFrom its ancient past as a Roman trading outpost to its 21st century status as the wealthiest square mile in the world, the financial district known simply as “The City” is one of London's most historic and fascinating neighborhoods. Here high rise office towers such as Norman Foster’s Gherkin mingle with Roman ruins and architectural marvels from virtually every era in between, including Christopher Wren's glorious St.Paul's Cathedral, and John Soane's dauntingly classicist Bank of England. This neighborhood is also home to some of the finest restaurants and plushest hotels in Europe, in addition to an assortment of watering holes, upscale shops, and Tube stations. During the week, the City is abuzz with white collar workers going about their business; the weekend sees this area turn into a quiet haven for sightseers.Read more
- Covent Garden HotelsWhether you're headed here to check out the multitude of shops, theaters, cafes, pubs, and restaurants, or simply to be among the multitude of people who pass through this pretty part of town, you'll love soaking up the festive and historic atmosphere in and around Covent Garden. Even if you don't have tickets to the opera or a show at one of the many famous theaters here, don't be surprised if find yourself captivated by some impromptu act of a street performer wowing the crowds in Covent Garden's Piazza. If you do have tickets, you'll be pleased to note that many of the local eateries accommodate theatergoers with prix fixe menus, early dinners, and later than usual opening hours.Read more
- Islington HotelsRead more
- Westminster HotelsIf you only had an afternoon to experience London on a grand scale, Westminster would be a wise place to start. The ornate Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey sit adjacent at a corner of Parliament Square, and a short stroll along The Mall leads to Buckingham Palace. Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column are just up the road as well. As captivating as the architecture is, the wonders of Mother Nature are highlights of the area too. St James's Park (arguably London's loveliest), the expansive Green Park, and pedestrian friendly tree lined paths along the river showcase the exquisite manicure provided by English gardeners. Just beyond the landmarks and the gorgeous outdoor spaces, quiet residential squares and age old local pubs offer a more subdued take on this global seat of power in the heart of London.Read more
- Southwark HotelsEven before the arrival of the instantly iconic Shard, the riverside scene in Southwark had moved well beyond any up-and-coming phase of development. For quite some time, locals and out-of-towners alike have loved browsing the boutiques of Bermondsey High Street, foraging through the bounteous stalls at centuries old foodie haven Borough Market, and flocking to the banks of the Thames to enjoy some of Britain's biggest attractions such as Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe. Despite Southwark's many popular draws, instant calm can be achieved easily by turning down almost any side street. For more urban buzz, a quick stroll across famed bridges like the pedestrianized Millennium Bridge or the ever photogenic Tower Bridge yields access to the very core of Central London. And with London Bridge Station as this neighborhood's main transportation hub, getting across town (or to anywhere in England for that matter) is a relative breeze.Read more
