On the north side of the properties in London square is the National
Gallery and to its east St Martin-in-the-Fields church. The square
adjoins The Mall via Admiralty Arch to the southwest. To the south
is Whitehall, to the east Strand and South Africa House, to the
north Charing Cross Road and on the west side Canada House.
At the corners of the square are four plinths; the two northern
ones were intended for equestrian statues, and thus are wider than
the two southern. Three of them properties in London hold
statues: George IV (northeast, 1840s), Henry Havelock (southeast,
1861, by William Behnes), and Sir Charles James Napier (southwest,
1855). Former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone controversially expressed
a desire to see the two generals replaced with statues "ordinary
Londoners would know".[2]
