Dating from the 1820s and named after Admiral Nelson's last great victory, Trafalgar Square is a hub of London life. With the National Gallery on one side, beautiful church St Martin in the Fields just across the road, and the famous Nelson's Column with its guarding lions, it's London's grandest square. It's here that London celebrates moments such as Chinese New Year and winning the Olympics, as well as having a huge Christmas tree each year. It's also here that Londoners show their displeasure about things such as wars and curbs on freedom on speech.
Trafalgar Square is a wonderful place to sit and watch the world pass by. There's a common belief that if you sit here for half an hour you will see someone you know, because the whole world passes through Trafalgar Square at some point.

Excellent!! Our guide was a great. This was the best tour I've been on. She made everything very clear about where we would be going and what we would be doing, and took good care of our group. She was full of very interesting information. She even re-arranged the schedule to get us into St. Paul's cathedral that was closed most of the day, so that we could see it. That was very much appreciated by everyone in the group. Highly recommended!

This was so much fun and really worth the money. The guy we had was very funny and made the whole trip interactive for us. He made us quack at other "Ducks" as they went past and wave to the people staring! It was great going into the Thames, downhill and quite fast, which was very entertaining. My only disappointment was not having change to tip the guys. :-)
