- John AgapitosSeptember 21, 2018One of London’s landmarks, and where the National Portrait Gallery is. Usually, there is some event or happening. Very central location, and next to many other sights like Piccadilly Circus.
- Great photo opportunities to catch Big Ben in the distance with Nelson's Column in the forefront. Or take one with one of the bronze lions. Just a great square with plenty to see all around.
- Great and worth a visit. Even living in London I love this place. And I still like climbing on the lions;)
- Baby DiverNovember 4, 2016A place where pigeons fly past your face! There's a lot of performance and people watching. Take time to relax and ride the lion statues. Spend time to discover National Gallery
- Cenker KöseMarch 30, 2016Real centre of London! Most of the "point of interests" and touristic places (Covent Garden, Soho, etc) are in walking distance. Don't forget to visit National Gallery (entrance free).
