This is the Victoria Memorial...

Walking along The Mall...
a Tree - lined royal road leading from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace.
The road is closed to traffic on Sunday, public holiday and for ceremonial events, including royal wedding, jubilee celebrations, parades and state visits.

Terlupa lak apa nama
 statue ni...

This one I remember...

Admiralty Arch
Although it looks like a monument, it is actually an office building with rooms inside. 
(katanya nak dijadikan Hotel...dah ke belum...x pastilah pula...
next time in London if dah jadi Hotel boleh duduk sini...
wwaahhhh...
how nice...can C the view of Buckingham Palace & St. James's Park...)
Ok ok back to my story mory..
This Arch...
 was commissioned by King Edward VII in memory of his mother, Queen Victoria.
The inscription along the top reads :
ANNO DECIMO EDWARDI SEPTIMI REGIS VICTORIAE REGINAE CIVES GRATISSIMI MDCCCCX,which is Latin for
"In the tenth year of King Edward VII, to Queen Victoria, form most grateful citizens, 1910".

Just on your left dari A Arch tadi...

TRAFALGAR SQUARE

at the heart of London, is one of the city's most vibrant open spaces..

A visit to London would be incomplete without coming to this mosst famous of landmarks...

(dulu2 banyak pigeons disini...mesti most of you guys ingat kan & sama naiklah bagi makan/berposing sakan..betul tak?

tapi banyak juga poo poo (droppings) mereka kan.....

nowdays Feeding Trafalgar's pigeons becomes illegal and people caught feeding the birds face possible prosecution and a fine...)

Nelson's Column

is the focal point of Trafalgar Square. 

Admiral Nelson was one of Britain's best loved heroes, who fought valiantly for his country and won four notable naval battles at the personal cost of losing an arm and one eye.

Nelson's last and most famous battle was fought off the Spanish cape of Trafalgar, when he defeated Napoleon and the French & Spanish fleets; during which he lost his life, dying aboard H.M.S. Victory.

The Panels depict the four great victories of Admiral Nelson. 

At each corners of the monument sit the superb Lions - Like four great guardians.
