Very tranquil spot to relax with lunch, with benches, deckchairs and walls to sit on. Right next to Embankment station so easy to get to as well.

A very beautiful place for a picnic or a nice read. But careful, when they say the park is closing, it is closing! I had to jump of the fence when i was locked in once 😂

During July, you can enjoy The Tennis Championships at Wimbledon on a large flat screen monitor here. Kick back, relax with a beverage on the lawn and enjoy grass court tennis.

There are plenty of small spaces in London to get away from the city. This is one of the best. Good scenery, quite and not too busy.

Turn right out of the tube and never get jostled or breathe in the fumes of the Strand again. You pop out by the Cole Hole where there is a crossing to get you to Covent Garden

If you want to escape the city, hide here & read the paper, enjoy your coffee, or simply just take a break. Public restrooms are to your right as you exit the park & South Bank is right across

Nice gardens to enjoy on a nice day. While sitting on the grass you can feel the underground trains go past.

Stunning park, plenty of outdoor seating for lunches outdoors.

Built by Sir Joseph Bazalgette in the 1860’s as part of his scheme to provide a modern sewage system, this riverside development was a reaction to the Great Stink of 1858, and traffic congestion.

Beautiful gardens for an evening stroll out of the centre

Built in the late 19th century, the Embankment changed the position of the river bank so that structures built with direct access to the Thames became landlocked. Read more

On a sunny day like today, even the drunks on the steps look welcoming.

Check out the Watergate. This is where the Thames used to ebb!

Nice water features, lots of benches.

One of London’s best small parks

Be careful when taking pictures around here, a group of homeless guys turned aggressive, convinced they had been papped by me and demanded I pay them royalties.

Grab a breakfast roll at Snax and then sit and enjoy the early morning tranquility

Sometimes there's open-air music from the stage, sit back in the deck chairs by Villiers St. & relax!

A peaceful oasis away from the London rush hour (if you don't mind the pigeons)

This is where the North Bank of the Thames used to be, before Victoria Embankment was built.

Простой, красивый, узкая полоска зелени и красоты. Лавли водоемы. В середине озеро с Такими Рыбехами!
