Stumbled upon the Embankment Gardens in London...
It's so beautiful I'm in a daze! πΈβ¨ π Embankment Gardens β° 3-5 PM (The sculptures look stunning in the slanting sunlight! And now the tulips are in bloom) β¨ Transported back to 1626 in a second! Hidden next to Victoria Embankment, York Watergate is the private river entrance of Buckingham Duke from the James I era! Nobles used to row directly from the Thames into their mansions back then. Though now "relegated" due to land reclamation, the weathered sculptures with lion crests and shell patterns still tell a thousand stories. Every casual shot feels like a scene from "The Borgias"! π° πΈ Photo Tips 1οΈβ£ Archway Light and Shadow : Stand under the arch and look up. Let the vines and clouds frame your shot naturally. 2οΈβ£ Garden Bench : With the wisteria trellis and vintage street lamps on the side, you'll look like the leading lady in a British period drama! 3οΈβ£ A 5-minute Walk to Gordonβs Wine Bar (London's oldest bar!) , order a mulled wine and keep the time-travel vibe going. π· π‘ Tips Transportation: A 3-minute walk from Embankment Underground Station. You might even spot river gulls along the way! Attire: Recommend a beige trench coat + beret, perfect for matching the aged sculptures. Hidden History: The "1626" carved on the lintel is London's earliest real estate advertisement (just kidding). π π Nearby Highlights The Thames Path opposite the garden is perfect for cycling. In the evening, when the London Eye lights up across the river, the mix of old and new creates a magical atmosphere!
