Just before you pass the OXO tower on your way towards the Tate modern in London you are hit by a surprising view and quality not often visited by people. A beach emerges at your feet along a small stretch of the Thames. Surprisingly a sandy beach yet hardly visited by people. Although it not the most glamorous of beaches it still a sandy one, something people travel many miles to reach. I must say i did find it strange being on a beach and overlooking the other side of London full of buildings. Normally you would see the open sea. The river Thames is largely surrounded by large buildings as is the nature of London yet this beach does grant a soft edge to a very urban environment.
