Trafalgar Square Cont'd

As I mentioned before, Trafalgar Square is considered the Heart of London not only because it marks the center of London, and marks a major historical landmark, but because in every direction it is surrounded by the Living city of London. To the North is Leicester Square and the West End, famous for being the entertainment and theatre district of London. To the East is London's financial center while to the West is The Mall, the royal road that leads to Buckingham Palace. Finally, to the South is Whitehall, the nation's street of government offices and homes.
