New signs point out the more accessible sloped access, a relatively recent improvement.

On Lendal Bridge, looking towards Ouse Bridge. That 20th century hotel block in the middle is rather dominant, isn’t it.

    Is it still called the Viking Hotel? I remember it was considered an eyesore when it went up in the 60s-although not in the same league as Stonebow.

  2. Hi Jeremy, apparently it’s under the Park Inn by Radisson brand. These large hotels seem to change their names frequently.
