Victoria Embankment Gardens
This is the part of Victoria Embankment Gardens behind the National Liberal Club and Whitehall Court with Hungerford Bridge in the background. In 1947 the London County Council organised the first exhibition in Victoria Embankment Gardens just east of Hungerford Bridge, the venue was moved to the gardens west of Hungerford Bridge in 1956. The Exhibition was open to all professional and amateur artists and was seen as a poor man's Summer Exhibition, the Royal Academy exhibition opened a few days before this one. All the paintings were for sale as in the Summer exhibition. The event seems to have ended with the 1966 exhibition.
