   Trafalgar Square

   Once a Royal Mews, that most extravagant of kings decided to let his favourite architect loose to develop London's largest square. Not only famous for the column with Admiral Nelson perched on the top, the four lions round its base are equally well known but according to legend, what will happen to them if Big Ben ever strikes 13 times?!

   Changing of the Guard

   Home to the monarch since 1837, this is an opportunity to see the world famous balcony where special moments in the nation's history have been celebrated. Looking at its grandeur today, it's hard to imagine it started life as a small country house built for the Duke of Buckingham in the early 1700s.
