Temple Station, London

The Embankment is closed for the London Landmarks Half Marathon. The footbridges on either side of the Hungerford Bridge, replacing an earlier footbridge, are known as the Golden Jubilee Bridges.

The 2021 Weekly Alphabet Challenge has visited E for Engineer this week.

Another London County Council paddle steamer manoeuvres to dock at Charing Cross Pier. The view was taken from Hungerford Bridge looking east and this is 1907 the last year of the LCC riverboat service. The postcard was published by C.F. Castle Co. Ltd in their 'Lesco' series. Castles were based in Leyton, East London and all their cards were of British manufacture. The paddle steamer "Pepys" was built by G. Rennie & Co at Greenwich and cost the LCC £6000.00, when the boat was sold to the City Steamboat Co in 1909 it cost them £393.00. The boat was sold on to Cie. Lyonnaise de Nav et Remorquage at Lyon and renamed "Ville de Valence".

The 2014 Tour de France races along the Victoria Embankment nearing the end of stage 3, with the big wheel of the london Eye partailly visible in the background. It was supposed to be a poetic statement, but did not quite work. After sunshine most of the day, it had clouded over considerably by the time the riders arrrived. The exposure was quite a challenge because of poor light and the speed, and only seconds to capture the moment.

London River Thames at sunset

October 2013

Best viewed in laThe River Thames is a major river flowing through southern England. While it is best known because its lower reaches flow through central London, the river flows alongside several other towns and cities, including Oxford, Reading, Henley-on-Thames, Windsor, Kingston upon Thames and Richmond.

The river gives its name to several geographical and political entities including the Thames Valley, a region of England centred around the river between Oxford and west London, the Thames Gateway, the area centred around the tidal Thames, and the Thames Estuary to the east of Londonrge

Something of an oddity amongst all the London AECs were the small STD class.

First of two shots of the Joker ride at the Riverside Festival. I was striving for something different, but still with some control (so hopefully the bottom panels were sharp-ish, for example).

The genuine ancient Egyptian obelisks situated on the Victoria Embankment along the River Thames in London since Victorian times.

Cleopatra's Needle is guarded by two bronze lions, and has lots of large 'pot holes' chipped out of it by bombs which fell nearby during the war.

The Battle of Britain Monument on the Victoria Embankment in the City of Westminster, London, England. The monument commemorates individuals who participated in the Battle of Britain during World War II.

I took this photo of a placard at The People's Climate March, a global event that took place on September 21, 2014, and involved hundreds of thousands of people in 166 countries taking part in over 2,800 events calling for urgent, coordinated action on climate change. The trigger for the coordinated events around the world was the Climate Summit at the United Nations headquarters in New York, taking place on September 23, when 120 world leaders will be trying to create a new global climate treaty.

This photo was taken at the London event, which involved around 40,000 people, who marched from Temple on Victoria Embankment to Parliament Square. It was a largely sunny day, a very friendly atmosphere, and a powerful demonstration of widespread concern about the climate that is an important antidote to the cynical and well-funded climate change denial lobby, and the general indifference of politicians, who sometimes make positive noises about the environment, but are more generally in bed with the polluters -- and, in addition, find themselves unable to tell the truth to their electorates: that we urgently need to make the environment a priority, and that doing so has to involve curbing our own destructive appetites.

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.
