Reporters from around the world are here too, quietly questioning some of those who have come and are resting on the edges of the fountains.
The people of London and visitors to the city have come together to remember the people who lost their lives in Wednesday's attack.
The word "solidarity" is heard over and over again
Candles are laid on the floor and on the steps leading to the National Gallery, waiting to be lit in memory of those who died.
I've spoken to a German woman who has lived here for decades, whose husband did not feel safe enough to join her this evening.
But she is here because she does not want terrorism to stop her from living her life.
Her view is echoed by almost everyone I have spoken to around the square.
As the bells of St Martin's in the Fields chimed, the crowds fell silent.
Even the rumble of the police helicopters dimmed while those gathered here paused to think about yesterday's events.
Some filmed the scene on their phones, some cast glances across the crowds, but the focus was on three candles on the steps leading up to the National Gallery, above which MPs, religious figures and others stood in a line to pay their respects.

End of twitter postTributes paid to attack victim Kurt Cochranpublished at 18:09 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March 2017
Friends have been paying tribute to Kurt Cochran, one of the victims of the attack.
Mr Cochran, from Utah in the US, was on holiday in London with his wife to celebrate their 25th anniversary.
Karlie Matthews, who lives in Salt Lake City in Utah and knew him personally, and described what sort of person he was:
Quote MessageI think the best word to describe him would be "genuine". He was just a man who had a good heart. I think that's the tragic part of it is that him and his wife - you know those marriages that you see and you're like 'man I want that one day', that's it you know, and they had one of those marriages. They loved each other and valued each other so much and my heart just breaks for her, and yeah, it's rough.
