The station that gives its name to the seventh novel in the series
'Embankment' can be found on the Circle/District sub-surface as well as the Bakerloo and
Northern (Waterloo Branch) tube lines. It is not so much the station that features as much as the immediate surrounding area which encompasses the embankment of the River Thames, the mooring pier and numerous other features as well as being a stones throw away from the busy areas of Charing Cross and Trafalgar Square. |

| Embankment Station has two seemingly identical entrances, the north side one shown above left (with the London Eye just visible in the background) and the south facing one above right (with Charing Cross Station roof just visible behind it). | |
 |
The oldest part of the station is the staggered sub-surface
platforms that serve the District and Circle lines of the Underground network. As per most of the stations on this section of the southern Circle, it has been rebuilt rather anonymously with white metal finishes throughout with little more than the station signs to distinguish it from many others. |

| Below ground, two tube lines also call at Embankment. Bakerloo Line is on the left, the Waterloo branch of the Northern Line is on the right. | |
