LONDON VISIT: 2nd PART





























TRAFALGAR SQUARE



The word Trafalgar has an important and everlasting place in the British psyche. It was England's finest hour and the hero was Lord Horatio Nelson, labelled 'the one-handled adulterer' by James Joyce. it is a massive square area on the northen side of which is the imposing National Gallery, the adnmission is free. Equestrian statues of English heroes are standing in glory and in the middle is a fountain. There is a tall column on the top of which is a statue of Nelson standing. There are other theatre halls nearby. Feeding the pigeons are no longer permitted and there are very few pigeons remaining.
