Thanks for a really interesting tour of one of the best walks in London and I would recommend this to anyone visiting London as a " Must". It was great to learn more about the history of the varied architecture there. Looking forward to the next tour already!

Very nice tour of the Southbank Chris. My office overlooked the Tate Modern & Millenium Bridge in the late 90's...fun to watch them being built, and watching hundreds of people march back & forth across the bridge as they worked to solve the resonance issues.

Loved your tour of London’s South Bank Chris. Festival of Britain took me back to 1951 as an 11 y.o. when I visited it. Also, resonance in the Millennium Bridge reminded me of the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse in Washington State. More of the same please. Thanks Gordon
