The Queen's Walk, Riverside esplanade in Southwark and Lambeth, England
The Queen's Walk extends along the southern bank of the River Thames from Lambeth Bridge to Tower Bridge, providing views across London's waterfront.
The walkway originated from Patrick Abercrombie's 1943 County of London Plan and expanded during the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977.
Street performers, art installations, and seasonal events occur along this Thames-side path, connecting major venues like the National Theatre and Southbank Centre.
The entire promenade remains accessible for walking and cycling, with multiple transport links and rest areas positioned at regular intervals.
Victorian lamp posts along the path feature sturgeon sculptures, initially mistaken for dolphins, leading to the area's designation as the Dolphin Zone.
