With the route following the curve of the Thames passed Waterloo Bridge and up to Blackfriars, the embankment runs behind a number of historic buildings including Portcullis House, the Ministry of Defence building, Adelphi Theatre, Savoy Hotel and Somerset House.Part of the design also included the Victoria Embankment Gardens (just off Villiers Street and reached from Embankment Tube). Interestingly, the gardens contain a water gate which, having been built in 1626, used to be located on the river's edge. However, once work on the embankment had been completed, the gate found itself stranded some 330ft from the Thames.
