Talk:South Bank

message: Is Waterloo an area? Simply south 22:56, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Surely the formal name of the area is actually "Lambeth" after the village of Lambeth which occupied the site in mediæval times, as shown by the name of Lambeth North tube station; it's just that it has more usually come to be known as "Waterloo".  In a similar fashion, the formal name of the nearby area usually known as "Elephant and Castle" is actually "Newington". — Korax1214 (talk) 12:06, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: From Lambeth it seems the area was actually a marsh in the parish of L until the 19th century - hence Lower Marsh. It would be useful to locate the original harbour and village centre more precisely though. Johnbod (talk) 12:48, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Waterloo 

message: This article starts with discussion of the area now called 'South Bank' and then confuses this with the whole of the south-side of the Thames to the east beyond Blackfriars Bridge well into Bermondsey, the more ancient ares of Bankside, Southwark, and Pool of London. I have added the distinction and links to Bankside which the article confused and have edited it to be more cosistently about the 'South Bank'. Tony S 85.210.7.14 (talk) 22:21, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

text: Is it true that London South Bank University (originally Borough Polytechnic) was named after this complex?  I for one am not sure about this, as it would take a very fit and fast-walking person to walk from one to the other in the claimed five minutes. -- 217.171.129.77 (talk) 13:31, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Survey

message: I'm wondering why the categories for this page include both :Category:King's College London (one of the campuses (campi?) of the University of London) and :Category:London South Bank University (formerly South Bank Polytechnic, and before that Borough Polytechnic).
As these two institutions have no connection that I know of, other than the coincidental fact that they're both universities and both based in London (there also is, or was, a London University with no connection to the University of London), I wonder why they're both listed as being connected with the South Bank complex. -- 217.171.129.77 (talk) 13:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too many universities? 

message: Although the so-called "South Bank" is part of that bank of the river which on most stretches is indeed south of the river (due to its overall west→east flow), the South Bank is actually east of the river, due to the fact that from Vauxhall to Waterloo (which includes the stretch in question) the Thames flows south→north.  Strange that there is no mention of this in the article. — Korax1214 (talk) 11:56, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
