Description
The view of London from Lambeth Bridge.
On the south east side of the river is one of the few medieval buildings left in London, Lambeth Palace, the official London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury since the early 13th century. The Palace became a military prison in the time of Cromwell.
The 1951 Festival of Britain revitalised this area along the river by developing the Royal Festival Hall. Now known as 'South Bank', it includes the National Theatre, the National film theatre and the Hayward Gallery. Waterloo Station was turned into London's first international train terminus for the Eurostar. Situated close to Waterloo Station on the river front the London Eye continues to give spectators wonderful views of London. The London Eye, formerly known as the Millennium Wheel, was built to symbolise the turning into the new Millennium.
