This photograph shows the riverside frontage of St Thomas’ Hospital along the River Thames in London in 1967, viewed from the pedestrian walkway beside the embankment.
Ornate Victorian cast-iron lampposts line the river wall, while crowds of pedestrians stroll, pause to look across the Thames, or sit on benches along the path. Clothing styles reflect the late 1960s, with men in jackets and trousers and women in dresses and coats.
To the right, the distinctive red-brick and stone buildings of St Thomas’ Hospital dominate the scene, including one of its tower structures with an open viewing gallery at the top. In the distance, bridges span the Thames, with post-war housing blocks visible on the far bank.
The image captures everyday life along the South Bank during the 1960s, combining historic hospital architecture, river traffic, and the growing popularity of the Thames embankment as a public pedestrian space.
