With Dolphins
The lamp posts were designed by George John Vulliamy and modelled by Charles Henry Driver architect of the Victoria Embankment wall and river stairs. They were based on statues of dolphins or fish with intertwined tails at the Fontana del Nettuno in the Piazza del Popolo in Rome, which was constructed in 1822–23.

Charging forward.
BTW, there is a very nice Bed & Breakfast place right on the English Embankment. It is hard to find a better place if you want to spend most of your time in St.Peterburg sightseeing instead being sardined in the subway.
I'm bad, I couldn't resist sitting on this bench to take this pic. It -must- have been designed for that, after all.
The river sparkles with a tourist boat on its waters about to pass beneath the Golden Jubilee Bridges with One Embankment Place on the right.
