Advantages: A nice place to visit Disadvantages: A bit too touristy.
After reading about Trafalgar Square from a fellow member, I decided to put my own synopsis together on it.
Hopefully it will provide some background and give the tourists amongst you some help in getting to and from One of Londons most famous landmarks.
What is it?

Advantages: A fun place to visit for all the family Disadvantages: Can be too over crowded
...always make my way to Trafalgar Square! It's justone of the many places I enjoy visiting in the big city - and it's free!!
Not only do you get pigeons in their thousands flocking here, but people come here in their droves too. Would they still visit Trafalgar Square if it was pigeonless? As you are well aware, it is famous for the feathered little creatures!
There's a statue of Lord Nelson there, and 2 huge stone statues of lions. Round about ...

...a single countown arranged and trafalgar square has a lot of clocks in buildings around it, so everyone was following a slightly different countdown which kinda ruined the moment. Anyway. If you're determined to go you won't listen to a bitter old Londoner and you'll head off anyway, and the best of luck to you. ...

Advantages: The birds, fun to be had. Disadvantages: Does get very busy!
Trafalgar Square, set in the heart of London, is one of the most famous places in the world. Holiday-makers in their squillions flock here all throughout the year to see what exactly?
Well, there is a statue of Lord Nelson. And nearby, is the National Portrait Gallery. And - of course, there are thousands upon thousands of hungry pidgeons! If you are afraid of birds, then please don't go here! But, if you are a bird lover, then you will love this ...

Advantages: Relaxing. Much of interest. Disadvantages: Pigeons do cause a bit of mess
Trafalgar Square is full of London's history and some oddities. The Square was laid out in the 1840s to commemorate the great sea victory, and the centrepiece is Nelson's Column, on top of which the man himself gazes southwards towards the battle scene far away. (Hitler was so impressed, he had intended to move Nelson and the four lions to Berlin after the invasion of Britain). Other attractions include: the standard measure in the north part, where ...

Advantages: Easy to find Disadvantages: not such a fun place nowadays
Trafalgar Square is not quite what it was. Without the fountains it seems to have lost its charm and the birds are no longer welcomed and fed as they used to be. Nevertheless, it remains a nostalgic place for the older citizens and somewhere the younger one's aim for on New Year's Eve.
Above all these days it is seen as a place to arrange to meet someone. You will always find someone and , particularly if you are new to London, everyone knows where ...

Advantages: tourists Disadvantages: no pigeons maybe in future
Trafalgar square has been on the news tv a lot recently. They are kicking out pigeon food sellers from teh square now. This man which has worked there for generations now doesn't have job! In my opinion, this is crazy
Its true that pigeons spread germs and things and bacterias so maybe they should not be in trafalgar Square. They also poo poo on the statues of famous people, that doesnt look nice. But without that food they maybe stave to death.
This ...
