About the area

The South Bank is a popular riverside walk along the south side of the Thames, running from the London Eye past Tate Modern to Borough Market. The promenade looks across to Big Ben and St Paul's Cathedral, which makes it one of the best places in London to film walking vlogs. A skate park and a graffiti tunnel add plenty of street-style shots. It's especially beautiful from late afternoon into the evening.

Suggested route

South Bank shooting route

Walk east along Queen's Walk from the London Eye to cover the main spots in one straight line. Borough Market is liveliest around midday and often closed on Sundays, so save it for the end and film some food content too.
