Riverside SE1 on Time Trail

A Tower to Tower time trail linking the Jewel Tower at Westminster to the Tower of London runs along the Thames south bank from County Hall to Hay's Galleria.

The two mile route, devised by English Heritage, is described as "a photographer's dream". Highlighted in SE1 are County Hall, the South Bank Centre, the Oxo Tower, Bankside Power Station and Southwark Cathedral. Theatres featured include both the living Globe and the Rose site. The history of the Golden Hinde and HMS Belfast provide a dramatic contrast between the centuries.

A trail leaflet also includes a Greenwich Millennium Trail and a Prince Albert Trail around South Kensington. Copies of Time Trails in London are available free by calling the Time Trail Hotline on 020 7973 3399.
