Trafalgar Square

Trafalgar Square takes its name from Admiral Nelson's famous  victory in the  Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. Nelson's  Column is 56 m high and on top you can see the statue of Admiral Nelson, who died in the battle.On New Year’s Eve, Trafalgar Square is a popular meeting place.  Fireworks are not allowed in Britain on New Year’s Eve. But at midnight people hug each other, sing  Old Lange Syne or swim in the  fountains.
