   • Nelson’s Column. Trafalgar Square itself is named after the Battle of Trafalgar. Famously, this naval battle between Britain and the Napoleon-led France and Spain would claim the life of Admiral Nelson, but become his most famous victory.
   • The National Gallery. You will find over 2,300 paintings inside the building, with works spanning the period from the mid-13th century straight through to 1900.
   • Trafalgar Square Lions. All very well and good, but there’s more to the lions than meets the eye. The lions were sculpted by Edwin Landseer – who until he accepted the commission had never sculpted a thing in his life (no pressure then).
   • The Fountains. The plan was also popular with the Government, who saw it as a way to decrease the likelihood of any pesky riots. As such, two new fountains were designed and added to the square in 1841.
