Green London: Victoria Embankment Gardens

Monday, August 25, 2025 3:44

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

For Bank Holiday Monday, which for me is the final holiday of the summer months, here’s a photo of Victoria Embankment Gardens, in central London, on a sunny day. It stretches beside the Thames, offering lawns, flowerbeds and shady trees. A watergate is one of its historic features. This was constructed in 1626 for the Duke of Buckingham as a way to reach the river. The embankment has been built up since then, so the water’s edge is now 100 metres further away.

Cleopatra’s Needle, the ancient Egyptian obelisk, stands on the edge of the gardens, next to the Thames, and you can just see the tip in the photo. At the Embankment Station end of the gardens there’s a bandstand which hosts musical events throughout the summer. You can hire deckchairs to listen to the music or simply rest on the lawn and relax during of the last days of the season.

I’ve been blogging regularly about London’s green spaces in an effort to dispel a prevalent myth in the pagan community that it’s just all concrete. Even in the City, which is of course heavily built up, there are still places where nature thrives, while Greater London has huge areas of woods, commons, parks and beautiful gardens.

The picture on this post was taken by me. Please do not use it without my permission.
