Trafalgar Square is one London's most famous places, it is a square where 8 important roads meet and is recognized by the 52m high Lord Nelson Column (that commemorates the victory of the Battle of Trafalgar) as well as fountains and other statues. It is part of the City of Westminster district and here you find the National Gallery of Art, a large art museum in an impressive classicist building that we visited twice and is filled with grand masters in art, St-Martin's-in-the-fields, a neo-classicist anglican church that is mentioned in George Orwell's 1984. Trafalgar Theatre is also here, and the majestic Admiralty Arch is a building with three arches that leads to St James Park. Trafalgar Square is a place that we came back to many times. During our visit in 2022 the square was cordoned off because of the play "Passion of Jesus" that were about to take place. As there are few benches in central London, it is popular to sit on the grass outside the National Gallery and relax.

10 Downing Street is the residence and office of the prime minister. It was constructed in 1684. Whitehall is the majestic street that goes from Trafalgar Square towards the Parliament and Big Ben, lined with imposing white classicist government buildings. The Household Cavalry Museum and an arch that leads to the Horse Guards Parade are also along Whitehall. Downing St, as well as King Charles St are side streets to Whitehall.
