London Bridge

  London Bridge stands at the intersection of the City of London and Southwark, spanning the River Thames. Dating back to 1209, this current iteration was opened in 1973 and is primarily a thoroughfare for vehicles and pedestrians, connecting various neighborhoods. One interesting fact is that the bridge’s predecessor gained fame for housing shops and even residences back in the medieval period. During the summer months, visitors can enjoy views from the bridge, with the bustling river traffic and nearby attractions like the Shard providing a lively backdrop. Walk along and take in the sights, or stop by one of the many cafes nearby for a refreshing break.
