Albert Embankment Foreshore

Site information

Diversion at Albert Embankment

To facilitate our construction at Albert Embankment we have diverted the Thames path at this location. During this time pedestrians are required to use the footpath along the main road rather than the riverside route between Vauxhall Bridge and Tintagel House. The new route is well signposted and clearly marked.

Access to the Foreshore

Our works require us to stop access to the River Thames foreshore next to Camelford House, known as 'Lack's Dock'. Although access to this area has always been private, there is now a physical barrier in place to prevent access to an active construction site. If you require access to the foreshore, please call us on 08000 30 80 80 for more information.

Works Update

The team is currently resurfacing the area of Thames Path that runs through the middle of the site.

Works will shortly be taking place to install new warning lights and lighting cabling on the west side of Vauxhall Bridge. To minimise disruption to traffic these works will take place overnight, from 17-21 March 2025 between 10pm - 5am.

Once installed, the Tideway teams will be trialling these lighting systems. For more information about these tests, the purpose of these lights and which other sites you can expect to see also trialling these lights, please click here.

If you have any questions about these activities, our site at Albert Embankment, or want to be added to the distribution list for notifications, please get in touch with our helpdesk on 08000 30 80 80 or [email protected]

Future of the site

Tideway is creating new areas of public realm to connect the capital's residents and visitors with the river more closely than is currently possible. This includes two new areas of foreshore at Albert Embankment. You can find out more here.

Following the end of our works the Thames path will also be reinstated.

Artist Richard Wentworth CBE has been commissioned by Tideway to create an artwork for the new public realm site at Albert Embankment. Read more here.

Dorothea Smartt has been commissioned to produce poetry to adorn our signature ventilation columns at many of our sites, read more here and Marina Willer of design studio Pentagram is also creating a unifying identity for a series of bronze plaques for 12 of Tideway’s sites across London including our Albert site. Read more here.
