I started to work on this paper on 1 April 2009. Equipped with some maps, my notebook, and a borrowed digital camera, I walked from the Royal National Theatre to the Tate Modern on the South Bank. Along this stretch of the so-called Queen’s Walk, I have selected two sites which I will compare in terms of their views towards the City of London (City). It is a warm and sunny day; unusually pleasant for London at this time of the year. Walking along the South Bank of the River Thames is evidently a widely appreciated activity, facilitated in recent years by a number of architectural projects to improve and extend the River walk. The South Bank – and in particular the stretch between the theatre and the museum – is full of people; something we know in the modern city as spaces that are dedicated either to consumption or tourism.
