Albert Embankment, Riverside footpath and road in Lambeth, England
Albert Embankment extends one mile along the south bank of River Thames from Vauxhall Bridge to Westminster Bridge in Central London.
The Metropolitan Board of Works commenced construction in September 1865, opening the embankment in May 1868 to create a new highway and riverfront.
The embankment features traditional sturgeon lamp standards designed by George Vulliamy, reflecting Victorian engineering and architectural elements.
The footpath section provides continuous public access along the Thames, connecting major bridges and offering direct routes to nearby transport connections.
White Hart Draw Dock, incorporated into Albert Embankment, maintains its original 14th-century slipway through underground tunnels beneath the structure.
