Trafalgar Square: Nelson's Column

Hi! I'm Elf Dryadalis, and I'm very excited to share my adventures in London with you!

So here I am at my first stop, Trafalgar Square. If you want to come here too, Charing Cross Station is right by Trafalgar Square - when you come out of the main exit, cross the road (watch out - humans are very fast on their bicycles), and turn left, continuing along the road. You can't miss the Square!

Today was really sunny. So here I am, enjoying the sunshine, and watching the clouds go by. Lots of people eat lunch here, but I'd had a big breakfast already.

Trafalgar Square is probably most recognisable because of Nelson's column. I found out later that it was built in 1843 to commemorate Admiral Horatio Nelson, who fought in the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar. Apparently pigeons often perch on top of Admiral Nelson, but I couldn't see any today. Maybe they were relaxing on the ground like me.

Next up, I'll write about the fountains in the Square - where did I put those photos?

Lots of tickles,

E. D.
