About Trafalgar Square

Trafalgar Square is the focal point of central London, a vast pedestrian square in Westminster best known for Nelson's Column and its resident lions. The square sits at the junction of the Strand, Whitehall and the Mall, with the National Gallery occupying its northern side. Visitors come for the scale and drama of the space itself, to photograph the fountains and the column, to climb the steps of the gallery, and to use the square as a starting point for walks towards Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and the West End theatre district. It is one of the city's most recognisable gathering places, busy from morning until late evening with tourists, office workers and Londoners passing through. Our site lists more than 1,500 hotels in London, and the cluster of hotels near Trafalgar Square is among the closest anywhere in the city.

Tips for staying near Trafalgar Square

  • The square is busiest in the middle of the day and on weekends, so plan gallery visits or photographs for the early morning if you want more space. Hotels 100 m away, like The Trafalgar St. James, make that easy.
  • Book early for the closest addresses. Only a limited number of hotels sit within 200 m of the square, and the nearest ones fill quickly around West End theatre nights and major public gatherings at the square.
  • If you arrive on an early flight into Heathrow or Gatwick, ask your hotel about storing luggage before check-in; several of the nearby hotels have lounges where you can wait, including Library and The Grand at Trafalgar Square.
  • Guests driving in should check parking in advance. The Trafalgar St. James London Curio Collection by Hilton, The Londoner, Sofitel London St James and St Martins Lane London are among the listed hotels with parking facilities.
  • Bear in mind that large events and match days at nearby venues swell the area. Staying 200 m to 300 m out, at places such as The Clermont London Charing Cross or Great Scotland Yard Hotel part of Hyatt, keeps you close while putting a little distance between you and the crowds.
