Thames Boulevard, Albert Embankment, London

The Albert Embankment, London, S.E., on the right bank, from a point a little below Vauxhall Bridge to Westminster Bridge. The carriage way diverges to the right after leaving Lambeth Palace, and enters Westminster Bridge-road at the corner of Stangate; St. Thomas's Hospital and a walk for foot passengers only occupying the river frontage at this point.

NEAREST Railway Stations, Vauxhall and Westminster Bridge; Omnibus Route, Westminster Bridge-road; Steamboat Pier, Lambeth.
