The South Bank by rickyvilla81
Paris has La Rive Gauche, we have... the South Bank. No, really, it's a good thing. Here you will find the largest arts complex in Europe, the South Bank Centre, which may be a bold statement of moulded concrete but does contain the National Film Theatre, the Hayward Gallery, Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, and the Royal National Theatre. Beneath Waterloo Bridge is a great second hand book market, seen in films such as Four Weddings & a Funeral and Truly Madly Deeply.Also the London Eye is here, next to County Hall, former home of the GLC, now home to the London Aquarium and the Dali Exhibition.
Best of all are the spectacular views of the other side of the Thames, particularly in the evenings, when the romantic lamps come on.
