EspañolCHELSEA EMBANKMENT
'Chelsea Embankment' is part of the Thames Embankment, a road and walkway along the north bank of the River Thames in central London.
The western end of Chelsea Embankment, including a stretch of Cheyne Walk, is in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea; the eastern end, including Grosvenor Road and Millbank, is in the City of Westminster. Beneath the road lies the main low-level interceptor sewer taking waste water from west London eastwards towards Beckton.
Chelsea Bridge and Albert Bridge are to the south. Royal Hospital Chelsea is to the north. Sloane Square is the closest tube station, located to the north.
From February 19 2007, this road is on the boundary of the extended London Congestion Charge Zone.
The embankment was completed in 1874 to a design by Joseph Bazalgette, and was part of the Metropolitan Board of Works' grand scheme to provide London with a modern sewage system.
