I went on a beautiful walk from the Waterloo station today with Jaynann, Emily Layton and Brittani Coats as our guide. This walk is best known for its amazing views. We first saw Lambeth Palace in the background of Archbishop's Park. After crossing Lambeth Palace Road we saw a spectacular view of the House of Parliament and Big Ben. It is important to do this walk on a clear day (which we had) to see everything as we did below.
Our walk along the Thames River was interrupted by some police man telling us to turn around due to a "suspect." We walked back and went on the street road instead. We then made over to the London Eye which is built for the millennium and I didn't know it was meant to be temporary but after becoming one of London's most popular tourist attractions, it is now a permanent feature in the London skyline. Somerset House-another beautiful building across the bridge from Thames River-used to be primarily the Navy Office but is now home to the Courtauld Institute of Art, Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs and many other exhibition galleries. It was a great walk ending at Temple Station!
