Trafalgar Square is a public square in the City of Westminster Central London laid out in the early 19th century. Trafalgar Square is one of the most important and bustling squares in London designed in 1830 to commemorate the British victory against the French and Spanish fleets in the Battle of Trafalgar.
Trafalgar Square was built to memorialise Lord Horatio Nelson's victory against Napoleon's navy at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. During the planning of Nelson's Column, the committee in charge had decided that placing four lions at the base of the statue would represent the heroism of Lord Nelson.
It was King Henry II who first used three lions on a red background, adding a lion to William the Conqueror's two when he married Eleanor of Aquitaine, probably to represent his marriage into that family. The three lions shield can be seen today on the England football team kit and is recognised around the world.
