Trafalgar Square

London England

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit London one more time. In my opinion, the British capital is always an interesting place to visit, offering so many things to do, places to visit, and food to eat, that it is hard to decide what to do. This time around I was staying in the Paddington area near Hyde Park, and I tried the London (aka "Boris") Bikes for the first time. Since the weather was pleasant, it turned out to be an excellent decision. I started my ride in Hyde Park, passed by Buckingham Palace, continued all the way through The Mall, and ended up in Charing Cross where I finished the trip. It's here where I took this picture of Trafalgar Square. The name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory off the southern Spanish coast during the Napoleonic Wars. I really like the view you get from the stairs of the National Gallery.
