South Bank to Southwest London from the London Eye
Captured from one of the observation capsules of the London Eye, this elevated southwest-facing view looks across the South Bank and Waterloo Station toward the district of Vauxhall and the emerging skyline of Nine Elms and Battersea. The large curved glass roofs of Waterloo Station dominate the foreground, marking one of London’s busiest rail terminals. Beyond it, a mix of modern residential towers—including St George’s Wharf Tower and various recent high-rise developments—signal the transformation of South London’s riverfront. The image illustrates the urban evolution from historic masonry buildings near the Thames to new commercial and residential architecture further out, highlighting London’s shifting development landscape.
