Victoria Embankment Park could best be described as a
space which offer people a little respite in the middle of a busy
day I stumbled across the Park while navigating London
on foot and was rather glad for this quite people frienly space.
Most people who use the park are either on there jouney to the
local train station or taking a break from there busy day to have
lunch or just simply sit relax and recharge, I certainly did.
The Park itself is just wide enough so that if you enter from
either the north or the south entrances you are in the centre of
the park. What the park lacks in width it makes up for in length,
adding to the illusion of its size. There are same elements in the
design which could be improved such as the broken tarmac
pathways even flages would look better and the rows of benchs
often mismatching make the furniture look confused and thrown
together.
The park serves its patrons well by providing a space to relax and
reach ones destination in comfort and openess in a part of London
which can feel castrophobic at best.
Improving the quality of the build of installations and furniture
would go a long way to making this space stand out from the
traditional standard park it is.
