1. Charing Cross
The centre of London is usually regarded as Charing Cross, a small traffic square near the river. It has been for centuries the crowded junction between the City, the Whitehall government area and, latterly, the West End. Here until 1647 stood one of the 13 crosses erected in 1291 by Edward I to his queen, Eleanor, marking the stopping place of her funeral procession.
2. Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square was so named in 1830 in honour of Lord Nelson’s great naval victory in the Napoleonic Wars. The square is dominated by the Nelson Monument (Nelson’s Column), standing at a total height of 170 feet 2 inches and completed in 1843. Nelson died in 1805, immediately after his victory at Trafalgar. The column was conceived and designed 34 years later, in 1839 and on November 3 and 4, 1843 the crowning statue of the admiral was hoisted into place. The cost of this ambitious monument was about 29,000 pounds, about 20,000 of which was met by a public subscription and part by a Parliamentary grant.
3. Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly Circus is one of the busiest traffic junctions in London. It is surrounded by many distinguished 19th and 20th century buildings and garish advertising signs. In the middle of Piccadilly Circus is cast aluminum Angel of Christian Charity (1893; popularly called “Eros”).1 There is also a large underground station here. Piccadilly, one of the five thoroughfares that radiate from the circus is said to have derived its name, first applied sarcastically in 1623, from its proximity to the estate of a tailor, who made a fortune out of selling “pickadils”, or collars.
