South Bank
The
South Bank
is an entertainment and commercial district of
Central London
, England, next to the
River Thames
opposite the
City of Westminster
. It forms a narrow, unequal strip of riverside land within the
London Borough of Lambeth
and the
London Borough of Southwark
where it joins
Bankside
. As with most central London districts its edges evolve and are informally defined however its central area is bounded by
Westminster Bridge
and
Blackfriars Bridge
. Its name was adopted during the
Festival of Britain
over the local less attractive name of 'Lambeth Marsh'; it includes the
County Hall
, complex with the
Sea Life London Aquarium
, the
London Dungeon
,
Jubilee Gardens
and the
London Eye
, the
Southbank Centre
,
Royal Festival Hall
and
National Theatre
, among its long list of attractions. Both the County Hall and the
Shell Centre
contain major residential parts.
