This walkway is near Blackfriars Station next to the River Thames with this lovely wall mural of London and the Thames.
When I arrived in London I stopped at the little café on Blackfriars Station.

The sections of the diagram of British Rail's April 1965 "Greater London Network Map" issued here as a folder and that was also produced as a Quad Royal poster map. In the latter format the diagram carries the name of the designer, D.J. Lowten.
The diagram follows, in some ways, the Beck diagram of London Transport in depicting the complex suburban system of British Rail both north and south of the Thames. This is a relatively early outing for the new British Rail corporate identity.
I've had to scan this in two sections; this shows the bulk of the City of London along with the network running out north and east into Essex and, south of the River Thames, into Kent and south to Sussex.

About a quarter of a mile south of the River Thames in Blackfriars Road was the entrance to the Charing Cross Railway's (later South Eastern Railway) Blackfriars station, which opened in 1864 and closed in 1869.
I'd always had the idea of capturing either this 'Blackfriars Station' sign, carved in stone, or a similar 'Charing Cross Railway' one a few feet away, if the lighting was right. Well a sunny November lunchtime provided the opportunity to capture the former.
A detailed history of the old Blackfriars station is below.
