IN THE EMBANKMENT GARDENS
This long, narrow garden, sandwiched between the Thames Embankment and the cliff-like buildings of Adelphi Terrace, is gay with flowers from spring to autumn and contains many fine trees. This is a favourite lunch hour retreat for those who work in the neighbourhood of the Strand and one which is of particular interest to gardeners. In this picture the famous clock on Shell Mex House can be seen - it is the largest clock in London, the dial being 25 ft. in diameter. At the Hungerford Bridge end of the Gardens is York Gate, the water gate of the former York House, designed by Inigo Jones and erected in 1626. Its present situation reminds us of the one-time course of the river before the construction of the Embankment (1864-70). There are several monuments in the Gardens, including a statue of Robert Burns, a memorial to the Imperial Camel Corps and a bust of Sir Arthur Sullivan.
