Another truly great place in the hub of London to sit, rest your weary sightseeing feet, and people watch. There seems to always be something happening there – street entertainment, a parade, a match celebration, a protest or demonstration and the red busses circling the square add color to the fountains, Nelson’s Column, the stone lions and the fourth plinth. The impressive (and free) National Gallery borders the square. To the east is St. James Park and Buckingham Palace all within easy walking distance. To the south is Horseguards Parade, Churchill Wars Rooms, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Thames River, London Eye, etc. Is your head spinning yet?
