The area know as the Embankment runs just to the north side of the River Thames from west to east passing right through central London commencing by the Tower of London and finishing near to Chelsea Wharf. The Embankment is essentially a thoroughfare for vehicles however there are some great vantage points all along the way, offering fantastic views of the River Thames and passing by each and every bridge which cross the river such as Tower Bridge, London Bridge and Albert Bridge.
