Victoria Embankment is part of the Thames Embankment, a road and river-walk along the north bank of the River Thames in London.
Why was the embankment built?
The impetus for the construction of The Embankment was two-fold: firstly, to provide the growing City with a modern sewerage system; and secondly, to help relieve the congestion of traffic on The Strand and Fleet Street. During July and August 1858, London suffered what became known as The Great Stink.
Who owns the embankment?
The Brunei Investment Authority bought Embankment Place two years ago for £212m from Greycoat, the UK property company that went private earlier this year.
