To-do list for South Bank: |
The South Bank (in the region of Southwark council) is in London’s prised and most significant cultural quarter of London hosting impressive leisure and tourism facilities and services. This area is home to a wide range of art, cultural, and heritage attractions. Within the South Bank/ Bankside region there are several internationally recognised cultural institutions e.g. the Tate Modern art gallery and the National Film Theatre. by James Busby
Is Waterloo an area? Simply south 22:56, 1 November 2006 (UTC) 'Waterloo' was adopted as the name of the area with the completion of the new bridge crossing in the 1820s and the Church of St John Waterloo commemorating the victory is therefore so named.Tony S 85.210.7.14 ( talk) 22:21, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

This article starts with discussion of the area now called 'South Bank' and then confuses this with the whole of the south-side of the Thames to the east beyond Blackfriars Bridge well into Bermondsey, the more ancient ares of Bankside, Southwark, and Pool of London. I have added the distinction and links to Bankside which the article confused and have edited it to be more cosistently about the 'South Bank'. Tony S 85.210.7.14 ( talk) 22:21, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm wondering why the categories for this page include both Category:King's College London (one of the campuses (campi?) of the University of London) and Category:London South Bank University (formerly South Bank Polytechnic, and before that Borough Polytechnic).
As these two institutions have no connection that I know of, other than the coincidental fact that they're both universities and both based in London (there also is, or was, a London University with no connection to the University of London), I wonder why they're both listed as being connected with the South Bank complex. -- 217.171.129.77 ( talk) 13:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Although the so-called "South Bank" is part of that bank of the river which on most stretches is indeed south of the river (due to its overall west→east flow), the South Bank is actually east of the river, due to the fact that from Vauxhall to Waterloo (which includes the stretch in question) the Thames flows south→north. Strange that there is no mention of this in the article. — Korax1214 ( talk) 11:56, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
