Old Vic Tunnels, Leake Street
The South Bank is one of my favourite stretches of London. For years I worked here and it is a special place. A mecca for the arts, scenic London views, home to diverse architecture, amazing graffiti and of course the River Thames.
The landscape is constantly changing and evolving with renovation projects and new buildings appearing every time you visit.
The walk I often do starts at the graffiti tunnels by the Old Vic, then on to the London Eye, past the skate boarders next to Festival Hall, head east past the NFT and National Theatre (where I used to work) towards the Oxo Tower and Milennium Bridge then on past the Globe to London Bridge and the Shard. The walk is only a couple of miles but there is so much to see and on a good day you can get some amazing photos.
The Shard
It is always a journey that brings back good memories for me and in spite of the ever changing architecture there is familiarity. I will be revisiting more London familiar haunts over the next few months…
