THE EMBANKMENT
The River Thames
dissects the city of London - the South from the North. The view along the
river is like a history lesson. Standing on Waterloo Bridge, which leads to The
Strand and Fleet Street, you'll see Westminster Abbey and Big Ben if you look
one way along the river, and St Paul's Cathedral if you look the other.
Walking along The
Embankment, there are many lampposts and statues which echo an oceanic theme. The
lampposts show fish entwined around them. There are also
wrought iron park benches set higher than the pavement where lovers have always sat to
watch the Thames.
