The Embankment

	London's Embankment is lined with monuments and memorials

London's Thames Embankment is not only a lovely riverside walk - now little appreciated because of the traffic that dominates the scene, it is also an open air portrait gallery of many of the most famous names in British history. In this film we take a stroll along the Embankment and its nearby gardens, picking out some of the most famous (or most quirky) of the people who are commemorated here.
