Britain gallery: Promenade

This is a panoramic shot, spread over four pictures, of the South Bank walkway in front of

the Royal Festival Hall complex. Panoramics with people in are a problem to edit as the

blighters don't stay still, so it took ages to settle eveybody in this shot in a comfortable

position without any blurring or duplication. It was taken from the Hungerford Bridge, which

connects the Queen Elizabeth Walk (seen here) to Charing Cross and the rail station. This is

at the start of one of the best river walks in London, from Westminster Bridge and the

London 'Eye' (just behind this viewpoint), all the way to Borough and beyond, taking in -

among other delights - the Tate Modern, Sam Wanamaker's revival of Shakespeare's Globe

Theatre, the Clink (old jail) Museum, Southwark Cathedral, galleries, shops, and plenty of

eating and drinking places. If you should want to continue beyond Borough Market, there's

the WW2 HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge, the developments of London Docklands, and a route

eastwards all the way to the Thames Barrier on the Estuary.
