Back of Harrods

Can't be; the River Westbourne was never navigable 😆

The Westboune River is actually in the green box here at Sloane Square station.Sloan_Square_Tube_Station_London_and_Westbourne_river.png.017e7985b0e8b9d9294462d58dfe3822.png

I used that image in my article The Old Thames Waterfront in NarrowBoat magazine Summer 2019

 

The houses shown faced onto Upper Fore Street, Lambeth before The Thames Embankment was built.

Construction of the Albert Embankment began in September 1865 and it was completed in May 1868, so the photo must predate that.
