    Trafalgar Square is a commemoration to the battle of Trafalgar, when Lord Nelson defeated Napolean in a major naval battle. We built the column in the middle and put a statue of Lord Nelson on the top and those big Lions you saw were made from melting down the captured French ships cannons which fought in the battle and forged into those lions. Pretty cool when you touch them, knowing they were French cannons from the actual battle of Trafalgar!

    The Highway Code has a lot of rules about using your car horn. Basically it's not allowed except to warn others that you're there. Not sure that in itself actually stops people, but it is rarely used - mainly to tell people that the traffic lights have changed if someone hasn't noticed.

    I love Winter Wonderland and as was said it's FREE, you only pay for rides or shows and of course food and drink, so it can be a very cheap thing to visit. I've often gone and not spent a penny, just wander around taking in the atmosphere, then hanging out at the fire pit listening to the band that plays covers of 70's hits, nothing like some old time disco and maybe spend a few pennies on some hot chocolate. Nothing says Xmas in London like Winter Wonderland setting up and Marks and Spencers stocking their turkey and cranberry feast sandwiches lol.

    Peoples perceptions are different. Positive comment btw. Just noted you all thought NYC was noisier/busier than London. I lived in the States but never got to NYC. I am used to cities, lived in Cincinnati for 6 years and that was quiet, even compared to my hometown of Burnley here in England. My fiancee is Dutch and comes from a tiny village in the Netherlands. We currently live in Liverpool, which is busy. Really busy. London is crazy assed insanely busy and makes Liverpool look like a village. Took her down for the day in 2017 and she literally froze from fear because of the number of people. Can't help but think you just caught London on a good day. At any given time there's roughly 12-15 million people in London, which blew my little Dutch village girl's mind.

    We have a tendency to romanticize the place that is "not" home. When I lived in the Midwest and visited NYC twice a year I romanticized Manhattan and hated going home to the rent, bills and my not so bad job. Once I moved to New York it was just the opposite. Now that I can't afford the live there anymore I have gone back to romanticizing NYC through videos like yours '. Just a thought.

    I think Winter Wonderland is not particularly Christmassy because it is meant to be an all inclusive event for all faiths, not just Christians. A sort of generic "Happy Holidays" equivalent if you will. London is very cosmopolitan and it has to appeal to everyone, so probably doesn't really know what it is and the Germans are known for their Christmas markets however I take your point. Many 'Christmas' markets that are advertised as such aren't really that. It is sometimes more a marketing opportunity for a more ordinary market. I think this has been said on some other vids you have done but Manchester has a brilliant Christmas market every year.
