Bakerloo Line 1972 Stock driving motor car 3545 arrives into Embankment, forming train 213 to Queen's Park. 01/09/17.
View towards Lambeth from Vauxhall Bridge. (Larger).
The left bank is Millbank (part of the Thames Embankment designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette in the 19th century), with the skyline dominated by the Millbank Tower. Millbank takes its name from the Westminster Abbey Mill which once stood at the end of what is now Great College Street.
The right bank is the Albert Embankment which was created by Sir Joseph Bazalgette between July 1866 and November 1869 and was intended to protect low-lying areas of Lambeth from flooding while also providing a new highway to bypass local congested streets. Albert Embankment is named for Queen Victoria's Prince Consort.
The building with the strong red reflections is a hotel (I think); I've walked past it many times but I can't recall its name right now.
The bridge in the middle is the Lambeth Bridge . . . not my favorite bridge to photograph; it was built and designed between 1929 - 1932 by Sir George Humphreys

Kotelnicheskaya Embankment Building is one of seven stalinist skyscrapers laid down in September, 1947 and completed in 1952, designed by Dmitry Chechylin (then Chief Architect of Moscow) and Andrei Rostkovsky. The main tower has 32 levels (including mechanical floors) and is 176 metres (577 ft) tall.
With the Ireland v France rugby game being held at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium the normal city centre road closures were in force on Sunday 11th October. Most bus services from the west of the city were being terminated at Fitzhammon Embankment, including First Cymru's services from Porthcawl and Bridgend. I don't know much about names and makes of modern buses, but these two certainly looked smart.
