The River Thames from Queen's Promenade
Queen’s Promenade was opened by Queen Victoria in 1856 when she drove along the rebuilt Town’s End Road on her way back from a visit to Claremont at Esher. One thousand schoolchildren lined the road, which had been renamed Queen’s Parade. It is now known as Portsmouth Road. Before the 1850s the river banks had been worked for gravel, and the old road was undermined. William Woods, a local builder, undertook to provide a promenade from Raven’s Ait to St Raphael’s Church, if the Corporation would complete it up to the High Street.
The section of Queen's Promenade seen here was within the William Woods' part. Kingston Bridge can be seen in the distance.

Raven's Ait, whose north end is visible in the picture, can be navigated on either side. Usual practice is, of course, to keep to the right whether going up or downstream.
