Originally known as the Great Exhibition of 1951, the 33-acre exhibition area for the Festival of Britain was created on the site of bomb-damaged houses and warehouses. The Shot Tower, Festival Hall and Skylon are seen here from Waterloo Bridge, although only the Hall was retained when the Festival closed in September that year.
