Victoria Embankment Gardens are a series of gardens along the River Thames in London, created in the 1870s on reclaimed land. They're divided into different sections with statues and memorials, like those honoring Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Sir Arthur Sullivan. The gardens have gravel paths, grassy areas, and even a café for visitors to enjoy. Concerts are held in the band shell during the summer months, making it a popular spot for picnics and relaxation by the river.
