The name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars. The original name was to have been "King William the Fourth's Square", but George Ledwell Taylor suggested the name "Trafalgar Square". The northern area of the square had been the site of the King's Mews since the time of Edward I, while the southern end was the original Charing Cross, where the Strand from the City met Whitehall, coming north from Westminster. As the midpoint between these twin cities, Charing Cross is to this day considered the heart of London, from which all distances are measured. In the 1820s the Prince Regent engaged the landscape architect John Nash to redevelop the area. Nash cleared the square as part of his Charing Cross Improvement Scheme. The present architecture of the square is due to Sir Charles Barry and was completed in 1845.

by Royals through the years as a refuge and powerbase. Sunday On sunday we will go at first to St. James's Park. St. James's Park is both the oldest and smallest of London's parks, built by Henry VIII in 1536. The righthand side will be the Cabinet War Rooms. The Churchill War Rooms played host to Winston Churchill and his wartime government during the dark days of World War II. Safe in their underground rooms beneath London's Whitehall, they met and slept in bunkers to plan Hitler's defeat. If we would go to the southside of the lake we will cross the bridge in the middle. This will give as one of the most celebrated views of Buckingham Palace. We will walk down the Mall and past St. James's Palace and make some photos of the guards. Then we will go across Green Park to Piccadilly, where we can do some shopping. Afterwards we will walk east towards Piccadilly Circus.

They are responsible for local services not overseen by the GLA, such as local planning, schools, social services, local roads and refuse collection. London is home of the Government of the United Kingdom which is located around the Houses of Parliament in Westminster. Many government departments are located close to Parliament, particularly alond Whitehall, including the Prime Minister's residence at 10 Downing Street. 4. The City The City of London is a geographically-small city within Greater London. It is the core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern city grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages, and hence it is now only a tiny part of the larger London metropolis. The City was originally surrounded by a defensive wall, known as
THE PALACE OF WESTMINISTER AND BIG BEN: The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is the seat of the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom--the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the heart of the London borough of the City of Westminster, close to the historic Westminster Abbey and the government buildings of Whitehall and Downing Street. The name may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a mediaeval building complex most of which was destroyed in 1834, and its replacement New Palace that stands today; it has retained the style and status of a royal residence, despite its actual use. Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, and is often extended to refer to the clock or the clock tower as well.

ANALÜÜS „Raha uputus“ Lavastuse autor – Michael Cooney Näidendi esmalavastus toimus 1996. aastal Londoni Whitehall Theatre’s. Lavastajaks oli sel ajal, tema isa, Ray Cooney. Eestis etendati etendust esimest korda aastal 2002. Lavastajaks oli ning on Andrus Vaarik Tegevus toimub Eric Swan´i majas. Ning see kõik toimus ainult ühel päeval, hommiku poolikul. Kõik oli nii kiire ja pettus tuli kiirest välja, seega ei toimunud see ei nädal, ega kuu aega. Laval toimuva ja lavavälise ruumi suhe oli hea. Vaadates lavale oli näha ka
olid esimesed silmapaistva talendiga kunstnikud, kes töötasid põhiliselt õukonna portreteeriatena. Enamus kunstnikke pidasid sel ajal ajaloolise sisuga maale palju tähtsamaks, kui portreesi. Mitmete faktorite koosmõjul oli just 17. sajandil suurem nõudlus portreede järele, kui teist tüüpi maalide järele. Van Dyck tahtis veenda Charlesi, et ta laseks tal teha suuremõõtelisi ajaloolise sisuga töid Whitehall Bankettide majale, kus Rubens oli varem teinud mitmeid laemaalinguid. Skets ühele seinale sai tehtud kuid Charlesil ei olnud küllalt raha, et ta oleks saanud lasta van Dyckil seda tööd jätkata. Mitmed van Dycki ajaloomaalid, mis ta tegi Inglismaal, ei ole säilinud, kuid on säilinud mitmed religioosse sisuga maalid. Varasemad neist sarnanevad väga Rubensi stiiliga, kuid mõned Sitsiilias tehtud maalid omavad vägagi individuaalset stiili. Väike kogus maastiku

Charles II oli osutanud Londoni linna peale, et kuna linna tänavad olid väga kitsad, siis tulekahju oht oli väga suur. Inimkond veel 1666 ei muretsenud, pigem katku pärast. 1666 veebruaris Charles II pöördus tagasi Londonisse, Whitehall’i. Tulekahju algas 2.sept 1666 öösel pagariärist. Levis kiiresti ning juba öösel oli väljunud kontrolli alt. Tulele ei suudetud 3-4 päeva piiri panna. Hävines muuhulgas St.Pauli katedraal.

D. 25 (section 25 of the Intelligence Division), "Room 40" was so convenient and so innocuous a name that it soon became the common identification for the organization. The name stuck even when I.D. 25 moved into larger quarters. Meanwhile, naval intelligence was building up activities concomitant to cryptanalysis. Major radio direction-finding stations were—largely thanks to Oliver's foresight—set up at Lowestoft, York, Murcar, and Lerwick; they fed their readings into Whitehall, where they proved of immense help in locating the German fleets and the movement of the U- boats. There was no way of avoiding a fix except by maintaining radio silence. This fact was of course known to the Germans, and in view of it England made no attempt to keep its direction-finding activity secret, using it as a smokescreen for its less obvious and more valuable cryptanalytic work. Two other sources of radio intelligence were the
