21 Bench Seats set on
Embankment Pavement
G.V. II
Public seats. 1872-74 designed by Lewis and G F Vulliamy. Cast iron mounted and
timber slatted. The seats take the form of long benches with curved backs
supported on cast iron brackets, the terminal arm-brackets designed as winged
sphinxes, with the exception of the bench opposite the junction with
Horseguards Avenue which has the feature of seated camels instead of sphinxes.
Included in their own right as original street furniture and as part of the
Embankment design.
