The Savoy Hotel from Victoria Gardens

This is a north-northeast-facing view across Victoria Gardens towards the Savoy Hotel . The foreground is occupied by the flowerbeds, shrubs, and small trees of Victoria Gardens , with a path running diagonally through the gardens from the lower left corner of the image. A number of pedestrians are visible on the path near the right margin of the image. A memorial statue can be seen standing on a stone plinth in the gardens in the right fore- to- midground. Beyond the gardens, three buildings can be seen side-by-side on a diagonal roughly parallelling the pathway in the foreground, with the leftmost of the three closest to the viewpoint and the rightmost farthest away. The central building, visible in the central-right mid- and background, is the Savoy hotel, and is also the only one of the three buildings which is visible in its entirety. The left two buildings are late Victorian in architecture, with multiple storeys rising to many-gabled roofs with inset dormer windows. The building near the right margin reflects some neoclassical elements.
