Trafalgar Square

Trafalgar Square According to some Russian travel guidebook Trafalgar Square is the favourite place for hanging out of English teenagers who live in far away suburbs… That is ridiculous! Trafalgar square is a very popular place where thousands of different people both English and tourists. Sometimes it serves as a meetingplace (e.g. for protestors); a location for different gatherings like for e.g. in winter lots of Russian expatriates come to celebrate the Orthodox Christmas, in July it is the focal point for celebration of sexual minorities.

Sometimes people come here to watch concerts or the broadcasting of important events such as Olympic games and football matches.
There are some interesting things to see: the famous bronze lions that are situated in front of the statue of Admiral Horatio Nelson’s statue (it commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar) and the fountains. At the back of the Trafalgar square (directions are given if you were to face the Nelson’s statue and have your back to Big Ben), there is the National Gallery where you can always find excellent exhibitions. To the right there is a very famous church – St Martin-in-the-Fields – where there are numerous evening recitals of classical music.

Ghost Forest from Tropics to Tafalgar

Ghost forestfrom Tropics to Trafalgar Ghost Forest (see our photos)is an original and ambitious project by Angela Palmer (http://www.ghostforest.org) that seeks to raise public awareness of the connections between deforestation and climate change. It involves taking a series of 10 rainforest tree stumps, most with their buttress roots still attached, from a regulated, commercially logged tropical rainforest in Ghana. The tree stumps will be presented as a “ghost forest” firstly in Trafalgar Square in London, and then in Copenhagen to coincide with the UN Cop15 Climate Change Conference in December

Ghost Forest is a carbon neutral project - following input from Climate Care, Ghost Forest's carbon footprint will be offset, see here for details.
