Title
Victoria Embankment from the south bank
Description
View of Victoria Embankment, Westminster, possibly from the Lion Brewery on the south bank, with the Hotel Cecil, with the dark shape of Cleopatra's Needle in front of it, on the left and the Savoy Hotel on the right. The former, stretching from The Strand to The Embankment, was the largest hotel in Europe when it opened in 1896 with over 800 rooms. It was demolished in 1930 and is now the site of Shell-Mex house. To the right, the Grade II listed Savoy Hotel (listing number 1236709) was finished in 1910. To the right of the old Waterloo bridge is Somerset House . It is low tide, with detritus on the mud. There are lighters moored in the river and two more, beached on the mud and loaded with rubbish covered in tarpaulins are in the foreground, one with its anchor.
