Victoria Embankment, London

Victoria Embankment is a road and riverside walk along the north bank of the River Thames in London. It starts at the approach to the Westminster Bridge, in the City of Westminster, and ends at Blackfriars Bridge in the City of London.

The Victoria Embankment was constructed between 1865 and 1870. To build it, many of the prime riverside properties lining the Thames had to be bought up.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
