Trafalgar Square
Landseer; the metal used is said to have been recycled from the cannon of the French fleet.
The column is topped by a statue of Horatio Nelson, the admiral who commanded the British
Fleet at Trafalgar.
The fountains are memorials to Lord Jellicoe (western side) and Lord Beatty (eastern side),
Jellicoe being the Senior Officer.[2]
On the north side of the square is the National Gallery and to its east St Martin-in-the-Fields
church. The square adjoins The Mall via Admiralty Arch to the southwest. To the south is
Whitehall, to the east Strand and South Africa House, to the north Charing Cross Road and on
the west side Canada House.
At the corners of the square are four plinths; the two northern ones were intended for
equestrian statues, and thus are wider than the two southern. Three of them hold statues:
George IV (northeast, 1840s), Henry Havelock (southeast, 1861, by William Behnes), and Sir
Charles James Napier (southwest, 1855)
