Trafalgar Square

The national gallery and the warren of museums are full of incredible art treasures that tourists line up for hours to admire. But Trafalgar Square itself is a great place to people-watch, sit in the grass and watch an open-air concert, have a picnic or just go for a stroll. It's nice! But the best place to do all this is at the top of The National Gallery. The entrance is located on Trafalgar Square.

It overlooks two beautiful fountains and you can enjoy the majesty of St. Martin in the Fields from there without paying museum fees. You can see some beautiful art there too if you want but I'd keep it as just a place to lounge around and relax in London. The location of the fountain at the center of the square ensures that it is one of the most busy and popular places in London. The fountains here are spectacular to watch and are surrounded by lovely flowerbeds and stunning architecture.

There is a sense of fun to this space and it is a great place to people watch with a cold drink from the nearby coffee shops. In summer, there tends to be a lot of street entertainers performing on the paved areas as well you can admire some of the more impressive sculptures in London. Around the corner of Trafalgar Square you will find the National Gallery. The gallery is a great place to go if you like to admire famous art, as many of the pieces are by famous British painters.
