I used to live in Portsmouth, and when I came up to London I'd always catch the train into Waterloo, then walk over Hungerford Bridge to get to the shops and stuff. I never really used allow myself to get excited about being in London until I was on Hungerford Bridge and looking down the river towards St Pauls. To this day I still get a thrill from that view.
And I reckon that the view looking across the river from the South Bank is one of the best urban river views that the world has to offer.
