This historical engraving showcases the area from the Temple to Somerset House, freshly reclaimed from the river and untouched by development. The image captures a moment frozen in time, before modern buildings lined the embankment.
In the foreground, paddle-steamers gracefully glide along the river, adding a sense of movement to this otherwise still scene. One unique feature that stands out is a floating Thames Police Station, serving as a reminder of London's rich history and maritime heritage.
