Introduction: This is as central a position in London as
it gets. The Royal Trafalgar Square Hotel (Thistle) is close to a host of sites,
attractions, landmarks, amenities and shopping. All the famous areas of London
are close by, such as Leicester square, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden and
many more. Within walking distance is Buckingham palace and the Houses of
Parliament. Trafalgar square was once famous for the flocks of pigeons that
uniquely mingle with the tourists but sadly now have been removed from the
square. Still on the square is the National Gallery and the towering Nelsons
Column. This location also gives good access into the City of London.
