    Trafalgar square is considered the heart of London, and recent renovation closed the northern part of the square. Popular for celebrations and protests: Something like this was happening when this aerial photo was taken.

    Yes, I noticed the crowds too on Google maps...that's why I came to Wikimapia, to see if anybody knew. It looks like there's a red carpet near Nelson's column.
