Millbank is an area of central London in the City of Westminster. Millbank is located by the River Thames, east of Pimlico and south of Westminster. The area derives its name from a mill house belonging to nearby Westminster Abbey. Millbank's general appearance dates from the 1930s, when the area was extensively rebuilt to repair damage caused by the 1928 Thames flood disaster, following the collapse of a 25m section of the Thames Embankment.

- Millbank is an area of central London in the City of Westminster. Millbank is located by the River Thames, east of Pimlico and south of Westminster. The area derives its name from a mill house belonging to nearby Westminster Abbey. Millbank's general appearance dates from the 1930s, when the area was extensively rebuilt to repair damage caused by the 1928 Thames flood disaster, following the collapse of a 25m section of the Thames Embankment. Millbank shares the name of the main road along the north bank of the River Thames, extending northwards from Vauxhall Bridge to Abingdon Street, just south from Parliament Square. There are parliamentary offices situated across this road, notably No.7, built as the headquarters of British American Tobacco. The road was created as part of the Thames Embankment in the mid 19th century and lies above a large interceptor sewer. The former Royal Army Medical College, situated at Millbank, is the site where the vaccine for typhoid was first developed, and in the late 19th century was where the world’s first modern prison was established. The listed site has since been renovated as a purpose built arts college for the Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2005. The Tate Britain art gallery is situated directly opposite near the end of Vauxhall Bridge, providing a distinct arts presence in the area. The headquarters of the British chemicals giant ICI was originally located at Nobel House in Millbank before it relocated to Manchester Square, also situated in London. The headquarters for the Northern Ireland Office, MI5 and Thames House are also nearby. Before the 1997 General Election, the Labour Party acquired two floors of the Millbank Tower as its headquarters. The £1 million per annum rent, however, forced the party to vacate the tower in 2001 for 16 Old Queen Street. Neighboring College Green is used as the location for interviewing politicians outdoors. In British politics, the term 'Millbank Machine' or 'Millbank tendency' (a play on 'Militant tendency') was initially used to refer to those who were regarded by some as spin doctors. Millbank Studios reside in the area as an independent broadcast company, owned by ITV. The studio is situated opposite the Houses of Parliament. The BBC Parliament broadcasting channel is also situated nearby (intended to broadcast parliamentary and general political coverage on behalf of the BBC). No.4 is the location commonly used by broadcasters for producing coverage of the Westminster area, including the BBC, Sky News and ITV. RTE also have their London bureau at the same location.
- Millbank és una zona central de Londres, situada en el barri de City of Westminster. Millbank està a la vora del riu Tàmesi, a l'oest de Pimlico i al sud de Westminster. El nom d'aquesta zona prové d'un molí que devia ser prop de l'Abadia de Westminster. Fins al segle XIX, aquesta zona estava dominada per la Millbank Prison, usada en les deportacions de presoners a les colònies britàniques. La major part de l'aparença d'aquesta zona data de 1930, quan aquesta zona va ser reconstruïda per a reparar els danys causats per les inundacions de 1928. Millbank és també el nom del principal carrer de la riba nord del riu Tàmesi, estenent-se des de Vauxhall Bridge Road fins a Abingdon Street, fins al sud de Parliament Square.
- Millbank je londýnská čtvrť na východ od Pimlico a na jih od Westminsteru. Oblast dostala své jméno po mlýnu patřícímu blízkému Westminsterskému opatství. V 19. století byla nejvýraznější dominantou čtvrti věznice Millbank Prison určená pro vězně, kteří byli deportováni do britských kolonií. Millbank je také jméno ulice vedoucí podél severního břehu Temže, vedoucí na sever od Vauxhall Bridge Road až po Abington Street. Ulice byla vytvořena jako součást rekonstrukce nábřeží řeky v polovině 19. století. Vzhledem k blízkosti Westminsterského paláce má na této ulici své kanceláře mnoho poslanců parlamentu. Galerie Tate Britain se nachází blíže jižnímu konci ulice u Vauxhal Bridge. V době před všeobecnými volbami roku 1997 zde měla v Millbank Tower své sídlo i Labouristická strana Velké Británie. Výše nájmu 1 milión liber ročně však přiměla tuto stranu roku 2001 k přestěhování jejich kanceláří na Old Queen Street. Ředitelství významné britské chemické společnosti ICI se nacházelo v Millbank Tower až do jeho přesunutí na Manchester Square. Své sídlo zde, naproti Westminsterskému paláci, má i Millbank Studios - nezávislá rozhlasová společnost. Odsud vysílá většinu reportáží z parlamentu mnoho stanic včetně BBC, Sky News nebo ITV. Sousední College Green je používána pro rozhovory s politiky.
- Millbank es una zona central de Londres, situada en el barrio de City of Westminster. Millbank está a orillas del río Támesis, al oeste de Pimlico y al sur de Westminster. El nombre de esta zona, deriva de un molino que debió de estar cerca de la Abadía de Westminster. Hasta el siglo XIX, esta zona estaba dominada por la Millbank Prisson, usada en las deportaciones de prisioneros a las colonias británicas. La mayor parte de la apariencia de esta zona data de 1930, cuando esta zona fue reconstruida para reparar los daños causados por las inundaciones de 1928. Millbank es también el nombre de la principal calle de la orilla norte del río Támesis, extendiéndose desde Vauxhal Bridge Road hasta Abingdon Street, hasta el sur de Parliament Square.
- Millbank is een wijk in het Londense bestuurlijke gebied City of Westminster, in de regio Groot-Londen.
- Millbank er et område og ei gate i bydelen City of Westminster i London. Det ligger øst for Pimlico, og sør for Westminster. Området har navn etter en mølle som tilhørte Westminster Abbey i middelalderen, og som stod ved Great College Street. I det 18. århundre ble området dominert av fengselet Millbank Penitentiary, som ble brukt til fanger som skulle transporteres til koloniene. Fengselet lå der det store kunstmuseet Tate Britain ligger i dag. Hovedveien gjennom området, A3212, heter også Millbank og går fra Vauxhall Bridge til Abingdon Street rett sør for Parliament Square. Mange parlamentsmedlemmer har sine kontorer langs denne veien. Veien ble anlagt som en del av Thames Embankment på midten av det 19. århundre, og ligger over et stort kloakkanlegg som tar imot overskuddsvann fra Themsen. Den følger omtrent stien langs Themsen som i middelalderen forbandt Westminster med fiskerlandsbyen Chelsea lengre opp langs elva. Før valget i 1997 tok Labour Party over to etasjer i Millbank Tower som partihovedkvarter. Leien var på hele én million pund i året, og allerede i 2001 måtte partiet finne nye lokaler. «Millbank Machine» og «Millbank Tendency» har gått inn i den politiske sjargongen i Storbritannia som referanse til Labours ledelse som gapte over for mye. Et annet ruvende bygg i Millbank er Thames House, som fra 1937 har vært hovedkvarter for den britiske regjeringas avdeling for indre sikkerhet, MI5.
