Trafalgar Square is one of the most famous spots in London, England. At its center is a statue of naval hero Admiral Nelson atop a 170-foot-tall column. Artist Paul Cocksedge has been curious about the view from Nelson’s perch since he was a kid. For the London Design Festival 2025, he created What Nelson Sees—a massive steel sculpture with telescope-like portals.
