Temple Place is a street in the City of Westminster that runs parallel with Victoria Embankment along the River Thames.

The name of the street refers to the Knights Templar who once lived in the Temple area of London.

[1] Temple Place runs west–east, parallel with Victoria Embankment, along the River Thames.

Around the same time, Bodley and Garner's London School Board Building was erected in Temple Place.

It was damaged during the Second World War when on 24 July 1944 a V1 flying bomb hit the east of the building, demolishing part of it, blocking Milford Lane and trapping people in rubble at 28 Essex Street.
