Victoria Tower Gardens

Established in 1870, the Victoria Tower Gardens owes its name to its proximity to the famous Victoria Tower of the Palace of Westminster. This garden at the edge of the Thames is not very big, but has several monuments: A sculpture by Rodin (The Burghers of Calais), a statue of the suffragette activist Emmeline Pankhurst, and the "Buxton Memorial Fountain," commissioned by Charles Buxton MP to commemorate the abolition of slavery. It's a pleasant park, with large lawns and plenty of benches, from which you can see across the river. Very nice for a short break when you're in this landmark-filled

If you're walking through London, venture into the park to sit and rest a while. I loved it. Above all, it's a great spot to take photos.
