Trafalgar Square was opened in central London in 1844 as a grand public area. Nelson’s Column is the centrepiece, with fountains, lions and a plinth in each corner.
The Fourth Plinth remained empty for over 150 years. This century, it has been temporary home to a variety of sculptures, statues, art pieces. Here are some of my favourites.

Thanks Gerrie. It’s a fun use of the plinth, mixing modern amongst the traditional.

Great shot of the ship in the bottle at sunset! I didn’t know about the 4th plinth and thought this post was great!
