Cleopatra’s Needle

On the Embankment, you’ll see Cleopatra’s Needle.

Cleopatra's Needle

The British example is not in such a prominent place as the one in Paris. But then it’s location doesn’t have such a bloody history.

Note the high flood protection walls on the Embankment.  I can remember, when at Cleopatra’s Needle, they were perhaps almost a metre lower and you could walk down steps to the river.
