Victoria Embankment

Victoria Embankment runs from Westminster Bridge to Blackfriars Bridge along the north bank of the River Thames and forms part of the A3211 road.
It was constructed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, between 1865-70, as part of his building of the London sewerage network. Under the embankment are the sewers and the Metropolitan Underground line.

Police Boxes

A police box is a telephone kiosk, usually blue, located in a public place for the use of members of the police, or for members of the public to contact the police. Police boxes pre-date the era of mobile telecommunications; now police officers, carry two-way radios and/or mobile phones rather than relying on fixed kiosks. All boxes are now disused or have been withdrawn from service.
The police box was made famous by the BBC series Dr Who, who used one as his Tardis. Most remaining boxes are listed structures.
