Fountains And Statues
Adding charm to this historic location are two large fountains designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1939 replacing earlier ones installed under Barry’s supervision. Not only do they add aesthetic appeal but also have practical use – they reduce open space available for unruly political gatherings which were common during those times!
In addition to Nelson’s Column, Trafalgar Square is also home to a number of other statues and sculptures. These include equestrian statues of King George IV and generals Sir Henry Havelock and Sir Charles James Napier.

Trafalgar Square is not just about open spaces and monuments; it’s surrounded by significant buildings too. The most notable among them being The National Gallery. Founded in 1824, this world-renowned art museum houses over 2300 paintings dating from mid-13th century to 1900s including works by masters such as Van Gogh, da Vinci, Botticelli, Constable, Renoir, Titian and Stubbs.

Adjacent to The National Gallery you’ll find St Martin-in-the-Fields church – famous for its regular lunchtime concerts offering free entry! Just south-east of the square lies another gem – The Mall leading up towards Buckingham Palace.
