This is one of the nerve-centres of London. It was named Trafalgar Square to commemorate the historical naval victory won on the 21st of October 1805 by the British fleet under the command of Horatio Nelson over the combined French-Spanish fleet commanded by Villeneuve. The battle took place at Cape Trafalgar in the mouth of the Straits of Gibraltar and lasted several hours.  Nelson was fatally wounded by a shot which broke his backbone. He died on board his flagship the Victory, but not before being told that he had won the battle.

Nelson's Column, with the statue of Admiral Lord Nelson on top, rises in the centre of Trafalgar Square. This most impressive monument is 170 feet (about 52 m) tall. The statue of Nelson, placed facing towards the sea he loved, measures 17 feet (more than 5 m) in height.

To the north-east of Trafalgar Square there is the building that houses the National Gallery of Art - one of the most impor­tant Art Galleries in the world - and behind is the National Port­rait Gallery.

Quite often the square becomes the location for meetings and in it crowds of Londoners congregate to celebrate political rallies. So it can be said that Trafalgar Square is the heart from which the beat is emitted to all the Londoners.

There are many pigeons in the square and Londoners like to feed them. Everybody knows that the dove is the symbol of peace all over the world.

One of few large areas of London, Trafalgar пло­щадь (Trafalgar Square) within one and a half centuries is also tourist sight of the city, and the main venue of political demonstrations. Exactly here in 1848 the first mass meeting organized by chartist which gathered for the areas before moving to Kennington-Kommon took place. Since then the area saw a set of demonstrations and meetings. That контроли­ровать situations, in one of stone curbstones in a southeast corner of the square specially designed hot line with Skotyolend-Yardom was built in.

Today people come to look, mainly, here on the Column of Nelson or to visit National gallery and National portrait gallery. Every December on the area the huge, Christmas fir-tree decorated with the Chinese small lamps is established. It is a gift from Norway, in acknowledgement of release of the country from nazis. On the eve of New year of one thousand not so sober people sing here novogodyony songs though now because of the accidents which have occurred in the 1990th almost all that was traditionally connected with this day, - binge, dances, поце­луи, distributed to all without analysis by the policeman, - it is officially forbidden.
 Through many centuries on a place of the Trafalgar Square there were koroyolevsky services. In the XIII century at Edward I here contained royal соко­лов. When birds faded, them placed in a special cage (in English it was called «мью»), and all this place received the name Kingz-Mewes (King "s Mews). During an era Tyudorov on a place соколятни koroyolevsky stables (and the word "myoz" gradually gained new value - "stables", "stables") were built. During civil wars of the first half of the XVII century of a building of stables were turned into barracks for parliament armies, and then in prison for "gentlemen" (royalists). In the 1760th гг, at George III, koroyolevsky stables started to transfer gradually to the Buckingham palace and when at the end of the 1820th they were left by the last horse, John Nash already had the ready project of the new area (but to an embodiment of the plan it, to a sozhayoleniye, didn't live). In 1838. on North side of the area the neoyoklassichesky building of National gallery was erected, and soon in the center of the area the Column of Nelson rose. The well-known bronze lions appeared at its bottom only in 1868, and the fountains built specially that поме­шать big crowds «city common people» to gather for squares, found the modern look in the late thirties. Building of other part of the area носи­ла so casual character, but old reliable neoclassical style makes impression of unity of its ensemble. Today, in spite of the fact that it was captivated by slovenly city pigeons, the Trafalgar Square remains to one of the splendid architectural complexes of London as recently its northern part was turned into a foot zone.
