Unilever House
This is an anonymously published postcard showing on the right, the brand new Art Deco Unilever House at 100 Victoria Embankment. This is probably 1933 or 1934, in the distance looking west and upstream is the temporary emergency bridge which was built just downstream of Waterloo Bridge when the latter became unsafe due to subsidence. The temporary bridge was erected in 1925 and was not removed until 1943. The Blackfriars Bridge approach is bottom left together with the substantial tram stop on Victoria Embankment.
