One of central London’s most popular tourist attractions is Trafalgar Square, a public space named to commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar victory in 1805. Dominating the centre is Nelson's Column, guarded by four lion sculptures. Amazing contemporary artworks by prizewinners of The Fourth Plinth Programme occupy the square alongside various memorial statues and fountains. Trafalgar Square is frequently used for political demos and social gatherings including New Year's Eve celebrations.
