Today's photograph of the day is a photograph that I took a couple of years ago of Big Ben from the South Bank. The South Bank is one of my favourite places to walk. When I lived outside of London and came into Waterloo Station, I would walk to Borough Market and Tower Bridge along the South Bank. It's a pleasant walk. The weather this May has been all over the place, but we have had a few warm days. These are the best days to walk along the South Bank, catching street performers and avoiding tourists who have decided to visit the London Eye. (Remember when it was previously called the Millennium Wheel?)
The South Bank walk has many of my favourite views of London, and I am particularly fond of the view of Big Ben from South Bank (near Hungerford Bridge) and Waterloo station. Perhaps this is what the Kinks were thinking about when they sang "Waterloo Sunset"?
