• The National Gallery: Situated on the north side of Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery has been the home for the National Collection of Art from 1250 to 1900. The gallery contains more than 2,300 paintings - all of which are owned by the British public.

• Trafalgar Square: At the centre of London lies Trafalgar Square, in fact the square is the point from which all distances to locations in the UK are measured.
• Imperial war museum: The Imperial War Museum was originally founded in London in 1917 to commemorate those who died or suffered in the First World War.
