The spot where the carriage is driving is now on the pavement to the west of the Roundabout at St Andrew's Cross and on the south side of Royal Parade.

In this photograph, the road appears to sweep straight into the west door. A cab driver and his horse wait patiently in the shade for their next fare.

It stands on West Cliff. Cook has a map in one hand and dividers in the other, and as the sculptor intended, he looks out to sea, his eyes on the distant horizon.

This photograph was taken from the west. Tower Bridge has become a virtual symbol of London, and it is certainly a very striking and remarkable structure.
