On this short, action packed journey through the history of Trafalgar Square we will hear about some of the more unusual features of this world famous site.

Today we may just wander through here on our lunchbreak, not paying attention to the statues, design features and buildings around us. 

But did you know that the Titanic Ticket Office was once here? Or that the square used to be home to the smallest police station in the world? Or that the design for Nelson’s column was much derided by contemporary commentators? 

We will hear about lost plans, madcap ideas, crazy laws and even crazier kings, and even find the location of the nose of one of our greatest leaders! 

So for a fast and furious take on London’s most public and interesting square, join us on our lunchtime tour!
