Viewing PlaceThe Queen’s Walk between Waterloo Bridge and the borough boundary (Broadwall/ Oxo Building) follows the curve of the River Thames allowing impressive views across the river towards the north and east. St Paul’s Cathedral is the primary landmark in that view. Its three dimensional form. The view place is within the Southbank Conservation Area.
Viewing Location The Queen’s Walk is a pedestrian promenade is tree lined and the canopies and trunks of the trees limits view out to such an extent that the best views are only really afforded from the river balustrade.
The view is a kinetic one from west to east. From the western end everything above balustrade level (c50m AOD) of St Paul’s dome is visible and so too is the
south tower. However, the foreground mass of Unilever House (grade II) obscures St Paul’s north tower but its Portland stone finish means there is no visual competition by this foreground incursion.
Up until the IBM building on approach from the west, because of the screening effect of the trees, the city cluster is not visible – giving St Paul’s primacy in the view. As the viewer aligns with IBM / ITV on the approach from the west the north tower of St Paul’s also comes into view and at the same time the tall building cluster in the City appears within the view. It is sufficiently separate at this point as to not cause visual intrusion.
It should be noted that LVMF view – 16B is situated on the Gabriel’s Wharf viewing platform (where the Queen’s Walk turns sharply inland to the rear of the former ITV premises).
At Gabriel’s Wharf background buildings at London Wall visually attach to St Paul’s to the detriment of its silhouette. Their effect changes as the viewer proceeds eastward. At Bernie Spain gardens a pedestrian pier allows viewers to enjoy the view from over the water. The walk east of Broadwall / Oxo Building, with further, closer views of St Paul’s Cathedral, in Southwark.

Viewing Place: Queen's WalkDescription of View Grade I listed St Paul’s Cathedral is a long established London landmark. There are many historic views of the cathedral from the River Thames and Southbank. For much of the view everything above balustrade level (c50m AOD) of St Paul’s dome is visible along with its north and the south towers. It has true landmark quality. The River Thames and its associated foreground development in front of St Paul’s make an important contribution to its setting as a designated heritage asset. Harm to this view of St Paul’s is therefore going to result in harm to the setting of the Cathedral as a listed building.
Visual Management Guidance St Paul’s Cathedral is subject to a long-established management regime – ‘the St Paul’s Heights’ which is administered by the City of London.
Foreground and Middle ground
No new development is anticipated on the River Thames.
The middle ground is within the City of London. New development at the eastern end of the Victoria Embankment and at Blackfriars would fall within the South-West part of the St Paul’s Heights Policy Area.
Background
The back ground is within the City of London.
Management of the viewing location
The view location is publically accessible and under the management of Southbank Centre (Waterloo Bridge up to IBM) and Coin Street Community Builders (IMB to borough boundary). No development on the balustrade itself or along the edge of the Queen’s Walk should obscure views out across the River.
