Reviews of Cleopatra's Needle

B. B.

An interesting look into Victorian London, pretty much hidden in plain sight. A great visit for anyone who enjoys ancient Egypt or historical London or even want to see different compared generally day to day city life. Add it to your list especially if you are in the area

M. M.

It was interesting to see this after having been to Egypt this spring and seeing many obelisks. The London air hasn't been kind to this work of art though, it's been thoroughly corroded but it's still an amazing thing to see in London.

M. E.

It was gifted to Queen Victoria in 1819 by Mohamed Ali Pacha (Egypt ruler in that time) but the PM (Liverpool) thought it would be expensive to ship it all the way to Britain. So, it was delayed until 1877. I dont think the lions are authentic but they are well made as same as the base of the obelisk. Definitely good view with the river and London Eye.

M. Q.

Obelisk from the Ancient Egyptian New Kingdom erected by Tuthmosis III and later on repurposed by Ramses II (the Great) by adding the 2nd and 3rd line of hieroglyphs on each side of each face, after a long trip full of perils the Obelisk arrived to England and was erect in this side of the Thames alongside two purposely made sphinxes of the Original Pharaoh, also you can see the shrapnel damage from the the German bombing during the war

E. R.

Fabulous views from the point to most of the massive landmarks of the city. The connectivity is fairly good and this is so much less crowded than the other Thames walk paths.

N. R. D. S.

Visited twice as part of research into the needle, which I find fascinating. Theres always someone there visiting it. And ive had numerous conversations there about its history. Its a lovely spot but imagine very exposed in the winter. This doesnt help with the erosion and some of the inscriptions are beginning to fade. Well worth a visit if your near Embankment tube station.

Cleopatra Needle in London, . We can find the only spink statue in the city. Great design, realy beautiful. There is an Obelisk beside the monument. You can reach the site from Embankment tube station or waterloo station via Jubilee Bridge. A stunning view with river Thames's ambience. Hidden gems in London !

F. G.

Lovely place to sit and have a game of chess. I dropped a pawn into the Thames, but that was admittedly entirely my fault. Luckily, after my friend and I tied a plastic bag to a plastic bag to my sweater to my friend's polo shirt I was able to hoist the pawn to safety, and it was reassuring that a passing fire boat stopped to make sure we did not require assistance. This was a 4.9 star experience, minus 0.3 stars for having suffered minor sunburn, taking us to 4.6 stars which rounds up to 5. The obelisk someone stole or rescued or whatever verb you'd like to start an argument with from Egypt was also impressive.

L. V. P.

AWESOME! An actual Egyptian obelisk in LONDON🇬🇧 Cleopatra's Needle in London is one of three similar named Egyptian obelisks and is located in the City of Westminster, on the Victoria Embankment near the Golden Jubilee Bridges. It is close to the Embankment underground station. It was presented to the United Kingdom in 1819 by the ruler of Egypt and Sudan Muhammad Ali, in commemoration of the victories of Lord Nelson at the Battle of the Nile and Sir Ralph Abercromby at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801. #LVPMoment✔️

O. S.

A lovely walk along the Embankment on a sunny spring Saturday in February. I arrived eventually at Cleopatra's Needle and decided to take a few pictures of the two Sphinx and the Needle. The view across the Thames of the South Bank of the river was great. An enjoyable lunchtime walk.

R. B. -. E. k.

During a nice long walk along the embankment this is a really good place to stop off and admire the River Thames. Cleopatra’s Needle is an obelisk sited on the Thames Embankment in London, transported from Egypt to London in 1877. The Sultan of Egypt and Sudan presented the obelisk to the British Government in 1819,. This was to commemorate Lord Nelson’s victory at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Although gifted to Britain it was then moved to Alexandria, Egypt, waiting for 60 years waiting to be transported. The Needle weighed over 200 tons, so a novel way of transporting it was needed. It was encased in an iron cylinder, which was then rolled by means of levers & chains down a track in to the sea. Fitted with a deckhouse, mast, rudder and steering gear and was manned by a crew of Maltese sailors. The obelisk was erected on the Thames Embankment on 12 September 1878 when it finally arrived. The 2 sphinxes that sit beneath it were cast in bronze at the Ecclestone Iron Works in Pimlico in 1881. This is an iconic sight on the Embankment and sometimes odd thinking of the process behind it.

Stunning ancient Egyptian artefact gifted to England 200 years ago! The oldest man made object in London! 😀

One of 3 obelisks named Cleopatra's Needle, the other two being in Paris and New York City. Turns of the name Cleopatra's Needle is a bit of a misnomer as all three were already a 1000 years old by the time of Cleopatra.One of 3 obelisks named Cleopatra's Needle, the other two being in Paris and New York City.

This one was gifted to the United Kingdom by the then Ottoman Pasha Muhammad Ali. This monument is just picture perfect for a photo op. The hieroglyphics are still visible on the obelisk, even on a cloudy day. The obelisk is also flanked by 2 Sphinx on either side and again these make for good posing opportunities.

The obelisk was originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis on the orders of Thutmose III, around 1450 BC. The material of which it was cut is granite, brought from the quarries of Aswan, near the first cataract of the Nile. Thutmose III had a single column of text carved on each face, these were translated by E.A.Wallis Budge and printed in his 1926 book 'Cleopatra's Needles and other Egyptian Obelisks' pp168-171. Other inscriptions were added about 200 years later by Ramesses II to commemorate his military victories, these are in two columns on each face and these flank the original inscriptions. The obelisks were moved to Alexandria and set up in the Caesareum – a temple built by Cleopatra in honor of Mark Antony or Julius Caesar – by the Romans in 12 BC, during the reign of Augustus, but were toppled some time later. This had the fortuitous effect of burying their faces and so preserving most of the hieroglyphs from the effects of weathering.

J. S.

A very interesting bit of history on the bank of the Thames, between Temple and Westminster Underground. Odd to think there's a monument 3,500 years old in the heart of the capital! Worth reading all the information surrounding the obelisk.

Cleopatra's Needle is one of a pair of twin obelisks that were gifted by the nation of Egypt to London (1818) and New York City (1869) as a showing of friendship amongst nations. The obelisk can be found along the banks of the Thames just past the Victoria Embankment Gardens. This monument is believed to have been erected in Heliopolis around 1450BC. It was later moved to Alexandria by Queen Cleopatra to welcome the arriving Romans in 12 BC. Later, left toppled and in ruinous condition for many centuries, it was gifted to London in 1818. Due to a lack of interest in funding its transportation back to London, the obelisk remained in the sands of Alexandria until 1877. Finally in route to England, it was then almost lost at sea when bad weather and sea conditions were encountered at the Bay of Bascay. While the monument was eventually saved and taken to London, tragedy wasn’t altogether averted, as six rescue ship crewman were lost while attempting to assist the vessel carrying the obelisk. Arriving in London, Cleopatra's Needle was finally erected in 1878 along the shores of the River Thames. Like its twin in NYC, Cleopatra's Needle is just over 20 meters tall, made of red granite and is covered with inscribed hieroglyphs. It is situated between two bronze Spinx statues, flanking its sides and oddly facing the obelisk itself, instead of facing outward, protecting it. Plaques surrounding the base of Cleopatra's Needle describe its origins in Egypt as well as the 1877 troubles at sea. There is also visible bombing damage on one of the black Spinxes, which you can see quite clearly, the result of German air raids during WWI in 1917. In the end, Cleopatra's Needle is only a minor attraction in London and probably best seen if you intend to spend time in the Embankment area. Those who have seen its twin in Central Park (NYC) or the Luxor Needle found in Place de la Concorde (Paris), which is also sometimes referred to as Cleopatra's Needle, might have a bit more interest to seek out this obelisk during their visit to London.

T. D.

Beautiful and magnificent place! You can feel the power of the statues.

E. M.

Real Egyptian rock in the heart of London. Not the only foreign rock in London. Just a massive one.

Cleopatra's Needle the, 21 metres obelisk faced by two sphinxes facing toward, should be redesigned by George John Vulliamy, an English architect. The interesting history said, the obelisk was one of couple in the Heliopolis presented to the English army in 1819 by an Egypten Gouverneur. But it took the British almost 60 years to find the solution to transport it to England...

M. H.

Cleopatra's Needle in London was presented to the United Kingdom in 1819 by the ruler of Egypt and Sudan Muhammad Ali, in commemoration of the victories of Lord Nelson at the Battle of the Nile and Sir Ralph Abercromby at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801. The obelisk is guarded by two sphinxes, one in each side, that were damaged during the war.

r. r.

I really like this hidden landmark with all its fascinating history. Disappointed to find it occupied by homeless people & their belongings. I do have sympathy for them but they made it completely unapproachable to get a close look.

D. H.

Awesome Egyptian gift to England placed on the bank of the River Thames. Historical side note... there is damage from the Nazi bombing of London, but like London the needle stands long after the Nazis defeat.

N. D.

Lovely place on the Embankment , beautiful gardens & Thames boat rides.

Cleopatra's Needle is a 21 metres obelisk which is inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphs. It's located in the City of Westminster, near the Golden Jubilee Bridges and close to the Embankment underground station. There are two sphinxes facing toward the obelisk, not originated from Egypt but designed by George John Vulliamy, an English architect.

M. P.

This was GIFTED, not stolen by the ruler of Egypt and Sudan, Muhammad Ali to Queen Victoria. A small piece of ancient Egypt for all to see for free.

J. S.

The obelisk itself was originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis on the orders of Thutmose III, around 1450 BC. Later moved by the Romans to Alexandria. A time capsule was placed in the front part of the pedestal contained 12 photographs of the best looking English woman of the day, a map of London, 10 daily newspapers, a box of hairpins, a box of cigars, several tobacco pipes, a set of imperial weights, a baby’s bottle, some children’s toys, a shilling razor, a hydraulic jack and some samples of the cable used in erection, a 3′ bronze model of the monument, a complete set of British coins, a rupee, a portrait of Queen Victoria, a written history of the strange tale of the transport of the monument, plans on vellum, a translation of the inscriptions, copies of the bible in several languages, a copy of Whitaker’s Almanack and a Bradshaw Railway Guide!

S. D.

I've had the great honor of visiting both Cleopatra's Needles within a six month period. There is one in New York City, within Central Park, near The Met and of course, this one in London, along the River Thames. Their age is over 3,000 years old, which is amazing! Both obelisks are over 60 feet tall, weigh over 200 tons, and are displayed magnificently by their host cities. I only hope King Thutmose III approves - I certainly do. By the way, there is a third Cleopatra's Needle in Paris, France for a total of three, but was gifted from a different temple complex in Egypt.

M. J. (.

I ran 11k and stopped at Cleopatra's Needle to meditate before running another 5 👌🏽

S. H.

Beautiful but a shame it has been left to weather and erode..

C. B.

Situated next to the Thames, this monument yields a sheltered little area to get away from the hustle and bustle of London streets. It’s perfect to occupy a bench and relax for half an hour. The history behind it is quite interesting too!

j. b.

Such a nice part of the river, the needle is definitely worth the visit. Such a great monument.

A. S.

Impressive peice of history in plain sight. A gift from Egypt in 1819. A nice spot to take a break and have a rest by the Thames. If you enjoy history ir culture then this is a free monument for you to enjoy.

CLEOPATRA’S NEEDLE, EMBANKMENT, LONDON, ENGLAND: Brought here from the Nile Valley in the late 19th century as a gift, this obelisk was created almost 3,500 years ago – which is to say about 1,500 years before London was founded by the Romans. Carved from red granite, at 68ft tall and weighing more than 200 tonnes, it is a striking testament to the thousands of years of African science, engineering and culture that predate European invasion and slavery.. A must visit of black historical relevance. This emotional place will open your eyes and increase you interest in learning about black history. ••••EACHONE•TEACHONE•••• Tap on my name or icon above and scroll down to see even more locations: 600+ BLACK HISTORY ICONS. 120 UK BLACK HISTORY ICONS 320+ CELEBRITY LOCATIONS. .

This obelisk is 3500 years old and it was given to Britain as a gift.

P. P.

It would be better those artefacts can be seen where they have been found.

L. A.

Of note, there is shrapnel and bomb damage visible, in the Sphinx statues and obelisk from the bombing of London in the Great War, there is also a small plaque describing the events leading up to the bomb damage. Walking past one might think the damage is part of the monument or completely disregard it altogether. Incredible piece of world history!

D. R.

Interesting inscription about WW1 bomb damage. Nice Thames and city views.

D. H.

This is an offering platform to the Thamesis River Goddess hidden in plain sight. Check the Port of London Authority website for the highest tides at London Bridge. Take flowers with you and get there about 30 minutes before high tide. On the river side area, spread the heads of the flowers on the platform. Tons of granite have been precisely placed with a slight bevel, the tides creep up the steps and when the two washes meet they create two ripples that carry the flower offerings away. Intriguing.

Z. D.

Cold day but lovely spot

A fantastic ancient monument. Closest I'll get to Egypt. But what a shame this limestone monolith is placed where the weather conditions in UK are eroding the glyphs.

R. F.

It's an interesting piece of history and it is worth a closer look. It's right on the Embankment near Westminster Bridge so make it part of your walking day out. There's so much to see all round there but don't miss this.

C. M.

Fabulous if you like Opera. Chef Pru Leith in charge of the Kitchen. Food great but picnics encouraged in the extensive gardens. There is a long interval half way through the performance for supper.

L. F.

The needle was made in Egypt for Pharaoh Thotmes III in 1460 B.C and stood on the sands of Alexandria, Egypt. It was presented to Queen Victoria in 1819 by Mohammad Ali Viceroy of Egypt, It remained in Egypt as England declined to pay for it to be shipped back. It didn't arrive in England until 1878 to sit at it's present sight on the Thames. History and intrigue are all abound at this sight. If you want to know why it took so long for it to come to England then you are going to want to do research or visit this sight? Sphinxes adorn either side of the this obelisk. At the base of the obelisk are four mounted plaques giving the short history of how Cleopatra's Needle came to reside in London. This is one of three ancient obelisks that are from ancient Egypt that were presented to the UK, France and the USA. The other two are located in Paris, France and New York,New York USA. The Needle is over 3,000 years old and has nothing to do with Cleopatra or the Nile. This landmark can be seen from one of the Hop on and Hop off Buses and Boats. I can't remember the name of the tour line of buses and boats.

K. K.

Interesting for a few minutes, decent view. Check out the sphinx on the right as you look towards the Thames, you can see scratches and punctures from when a bomb exploded in WWI.

P. O. M.

Underrated, amazing obelisk. The Sphinx have damage from WW1/shrapnel if you look close enough.

J. G.

An overlooked site. You can actually look upon an edifice that Moses saw! How amazing and it is right there in London! Worth the walk.

J. A.

Cleopatra's Needle was given to the United Kingdom by Egypt in 1819. The obelisk high is about 21 meters (69 feet), a weigh of 224 tons, and two very beautiful sphinxes, which I particularly loved, surround him.

R. E.

Cleopatra's needle is situated at the bankside of the River Thames. It is not far from the London Eye, Big Ben and the houses of Parliament. Cleopatra's Needle in London is one of three similarly named Egyptian obelisks and is located in the City of Westminster, on the Victoria Embankment near the Golden Jubilee Bridges. It is close to the Embankment underground station.

It's a bit of a shame placing an artifact like this outside for the weather to deteriorate it, but it looks amazing.

Please study this. Its 3500 yrs old and if you read the bronze plaques you will be glad you did.

(Translated) It is an obelisk (monument) of ancient Egypt. You can see the hieroglyphs on the surface. Two sphinxes are installed, and sphinxes are also decorated on the legs of the nearby bench. Because it is along the River Thames, you may want to take a walk and take a look. (Original) 古代エジプトのオベリスク（記念碑）です。表面にヒエログリフが彫られているのを見ることができます。二体のスフィンクスが設置され、付近のベンチの脚にもスフィンクスが装飾されています。テムズ川沿いにあるので、散歩がてら見学しても良いかもしれません。

(Translated) London. Here also on the banks of the Thames we could admire a monument to Clopatra's Needle, an obelisk that in ancient Egypt was considered the stone rays of the god Ra, which made the connection between the world of people and the world of the gods! The Egyptian obelisk called "Cleopatra's Arch" was built here in 1878 and is a gift made to England by the viceroys of Egypt in 1819! The monument commemorates the victory of Lord Nelson in the 1801 Battle of the Nile. The obelisk is located near the Golden Jubilee bridge, a monumental building with a height of 21 meters and is flanked by two huge saints looking at the monument. the waters of the river and at the same time becomes a point where you have a panoramic view from where you can admire the beauty of the place where you are! Interesting historical landmark for those interested! (Original) Londra . Aici tot pe malurile Tamisei am putut admira un monument Clopatra's Needle ,un obelisc ce in Egiptul antic erau considerate razele de piatră ale zeului Ra ,ce făceau legătura între lumea oamenilor și lumea zeilor ! Obeliscul Egiptean numit "Arcul Cleopatrei"a fost ridicat aici în anul 1878 și este un cadou făcut Angliei de către viceregele Egiptului în anul 1819 ! Monumentul comemorează victoria lordului Nelson în bătălia de pe Nil din 1801 . Obeliscul este amplasat lîngă podul Golden Jubilee, edificiu monumental avind o înălțime de 21 de metri și este flancat de doi sfinxi uriași ce privesc spre monument .Tot ansamblul monumental este conceput in așa fel să fie admirat din toate pozițiile căci întreaga structură pătrunde citiva metri în apele fluviului și în același timp devine și un punct de unde ai vedere panoramică de unde poți admira frumusețea locului unde te afli ! Reper istoric interesant pentru cei interesați !

(Translated) Along the banks of the River Thames, London, there are some very beautiful and well-decorated Egyptian sphinxes and stone columns, I asked if I had the original goods, I searched, only the stone columns Obélisque de la Concorde were a stone pillar that was in front of the Louxor temple, Egypt, is now located on the square of Concorde, District 8 of Paris, and no data on other pillars, Egypt was once a British colony and long time It is impossible for Britain to neglect any of the great historical legacies in Egypt, a question left unanswered: Do you have any answers to help you? (Original) Dọc bờ sông Thames, London có mấy con nhân sư và cột đá Ai Cập rất đẹp và được trang trí rất "thật'. Khách hỏi mình có phải hàng nguyên bản không? Mình tra cứu thì chỉ có cột đá Obélisque de la Concorde là một cây cột đá vốn ở trước cửa đền Louxor, Ai Cập, hiện nay nằm trên quảng trường Concorde, Quận 8 thành phố Paris chứ không có dữ liệu về cột đá nào khác. Ai Cập đã từng là thuộc địa Anh và thời gian dài chịu sự ảnh hưởng của Anh Quốc. Không lẽ nào nước Anh không sơ múi tí nào những di sản lịch sử khổng lồ ở Ai Cập. Một câu hỏi còn bỏ ngỏ. Có bạn nào có câu trả lời giúp mình không?

(Translated) If you're walking in London on Westminster on the Victoria Embankment on the Thames, near the Golden Jubilee Bridge you'll find an ancient Egyptian obelisk that has stood here for 120 years. As early as 1819, the obelisk, now in London, arrived in the city after being placed in Alexandria for over sixty years and the British government could afford to lend it to London. The Obelisk itself was a gift to the British people of Mehemet Ali, then viceroy of Egypt. (Original) Wenn man in London in Westminster auf dem Victoria Embankment an der Themse spazieren geht, trifft man in der Nähe der Golden Jubilee Bridge auf einen alt ägyptischen Obelisken, der hier schon seit 120 Jahren steht. Bereits 1819 kam der heute in London stehende Obelisk in die Stadt nachdem er über 60 Jahre in Alexandria aufgestellt war und die britische Regierung es sich finanziell erlauben konnte, ihn nach London zu verfrachten. Der Obelisk ansich war ein Geschenk an das britische Volk von Mehemet Ali, dem damaligen Vizekönig von Ägypten.

(Translated) During an evening walk along the Thames, I discovered this monument by chance and was quite impressed, because it is really beautiful. In addition to the actual "needle" are still two sphinxes, which are also very nice to look at. If you look closely, you can even see some of the damage from World War II on the figures. (Original) Bei einem abendlichen Spaziergang an der Themse habe ich dieses Monument eher zufällig entdeckt und war ziemlich beeindruckt, denn es ist wirklich sehr schön. Neben der eigentlichen "Nadel" sitzen noch zwei Sphinxen, die ebenfalls sehr schön anzusehen sind. Wer genau hinsieht, kann an den Figuren sogar noch einige Beschädigungen aus dem zweiten Weltkrieg sehen.
