Victoria Embankment Gardens

Victoria Embankment Gardens is a group of gardens founded on the north bank of the Thames between the Blackfriars Bridge and Westminster Bridge. They are completely fenced and open only at certain times. A line of old trees runs from the river side, and many flower beds are planted in the gardens themselves. Along the gravel paths benches and monuments were erected, among others by John Stuart Mill or Arhur Sullivan. There is also a monument in memory of British soldiers killed during the Korean War.

Victoria Embankment Gardens were founded in 1874 along Victoria Embankment Street, from which their name comes. They were then divided into four sections. The east includes the Temple Garden, and the west the so-called Main Gardens, initially existing under the name Adelphi Gardens. The other two parts run along the banks of the Thames.
