A westward view of the River Thames passing between the London boroughs of
Lambeth and
City of Westminster, with the
London Eye ferris wheel on the left and the
Palace of Westminster in the centre. The Thames is the
second-longest river in England and has a special significance in flowing through London, although this is only a short part of its course. Its strategic position has made it a physical and political boundary, as well as the centre of many events in British history.Photo:
