Famous bridges of London

Return to the list

History and description of all bridges in London. What are famous, recommendations for visiting.

Vitaly Khozhainov

2 September 2016, 14:28

In London, in a city that stretches along the Thames, bridges
are of great importance. The first bridge dates back to Roman times, and
most within the last three hundred years. Some have very
beautiful architecture, others have little architectural
value. But all of them are interesting for history.

Tower Bridge

What is the most famous symbol of London? Some people claim
that Big Ben and Tower Bridge have good prospects to be
number one. But whether Tower Bridge is
the most famous building or one of the most famous buildings,
Tower Bridge is a must see attraction
visit first. A lot of people think that, like herself
tower, bridge is very ancient. But Tower Bridge is relatively young, it
was opened no earlier than 1894, on the north bank of which
is the Tower of London, from which the bridge was named. on the south
shore is New City Hall, an unusual building that
reminiscent of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. If someone stands in front of the bridge and
admires his intense play of colors, he probably doesn’t
believe that the Tower Bridge began to shine blue-white-red since 1977
years, before that it was just gray. Like Big Ben, it was built
in neo-gothic, like many other architectural structures
Victorian era. Tower Bridge 244 m long, towers on the bridge
65 m high. The bridge consists of three parts or, to be more
accurate, into four parts. Both neo-gothic towers connect with
shore by two chain bridges 82 m long each, the middle part
between the towers is divided into two parts. So far the big ships
move along the Thames and the bridge opens up to let them through. This
happens about 10 times a week. So if someone wants it
see, it will take a bit of luck or perseverance.
The pedestrian bridge between the two towers is an interesting thing. He is in
under the roof and glazed, so you can comfortably move around it
regardless of the weather. Previously, thanks to him, it was possible to cross
bridge even if the middle part of the bridge was raised. Today,
due to the small number of lifts of the bridge wings, this is no longer
required and the towers, along with the footbridge were rebuilt into
museum. I recommend this museum to everyone. View from above
43 m is fantastic, especially if the weather is nice. From here
overlooking the Tower of London and the south bank of the Thames and very
good view of London and the docks. There is also an exhibition of history
Tower Bridge, which is also very interesting. At this exhibition, you can
visit the machine building with boilers, steam engines and pumps.
Entrance to the bridge and the exhibition is free for those visiting London.
From April to October, it is open daily from 10.00 to 17.30, from November
to March daily from 09.30 to 17.00 . Tower Bridge is especially beautiful in
evening time when it is illuminated and reflected in the Thames.

London Bridge

London Bridge is the capital’s bridge with the longest history after
Tower Bridge, this is the most famous bridge. Despite this, his
appearance is not very spectacular. But in the evenings when it’s colorful
illuminated, along with the surrounding landscape, it fascinates. I was
amazed when I stood on Queen’s Walk and saw London Bridge
illuminated in red. Already in Roman times over 2000 years ago,
the first Londinium (later London) bridge was built here. So
time, it was damaged several times and was rebuilt and
moved. Until 1750, London Bridge was the only bridge
which crossed the Thames in the city center area, then
Westminster Bridge unloaded the increased traffic between the banks of the river.
In the first half of 19th century, the bridge was moved approximately
30 km upstream. Thus a stone bridge was born,
consisting of 5 arches 283 m long and 15 m wide.

At the beginning of the 20th century, ever-increasing traffic demanded
expansion of the bridge up to 20 m, which led to difficulties with the foundation
bridge. Today this bridge actually stands in America, as in
In 1968 it was bought by the USA and its parts were used for
concrete bridge pavement in Arizona. Due to the fact that in
this place needed a bridge across the Thames, the restructuring of the London
bridge, as it looks today, passed from 1967 on
1972 Thus, the length of 283 m was kept, but the width
increased to 32 m. , and he stands exactly in the same place where he stood
previous bridge. For this reason, the old bridge was dismantled step by step.
step in accordance with the progress of the construction of the new bridge. London
Bridge connects with London City, in the Southwark area on the south
the banks of the Thames. The best way to get there is to take the subway to
Monument or London Tower underground stations.

Millennium Bridge

The youngest bridge in London, the Millennium Bridge, attracts with its
attractive design and challenging architecture. It’s pure
pedestrian bridge that leads from the Museum of Modern Art to
south bank to St Paul’s Cathedral and London School
City on the north coast. View from the bridge to St. Paul’s Cathedral
fantastic and it’s always open. Bridge technical data
Millennium is also impressive. With a total length of 325 m, it rests on
two columns in the river and can withstand a simultaneous load of 5000
man or 2000 tons of weight, the designers have made a masterpiece.
Nothing interferes with the view from this bridge. At the start of the new millennium,
the Millennium Bridge was inaugurated, but with a delay of two
months, but two days later was closed due to some strong and
uncontrolled fluctuations. The bridge swayed from side to side
in an unexpected way. After lengthy analyzes and implementation
special damper system, the bridge was opened to the public
in February 2002. The unplanned closure didn’t have far
ongoing consequences. At the moment, the Millennium Bridge is one
of the most famous and most visited symbols of London. May be
it’s just an illusion, but walking on the bridge I felt like a bridge
vibrates. I recommend at least once, but to visit the bridge
Millennium.

Westminster Bridge

Westminster Bridge is in the open to the right of
Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament.
This transport bridge is 252 m long and 25.5 m wide, which
connects the Lambeth city area and Westminster. Architect Charles
Barry, who designed the Neo-Gothic Palace of Westminster
style, also participated in the neo-Gothic design of the bridge. He
stretches over the Thames with seven wrought-iron arches. In 1739, after
long disputes and discussions, the foundation was laid for
Westminster Bridge, but as a result of numerous adversities,
such as wars, earthquakes, accidents, etc., the building was not
completed before 1750. In 1836, step by step, building
the bridge resumed, but soon a new plan arose
bridge construction.

In 1862, the opening of a new and much more
stable bridge. It had to be of very good quality, and it
and remained so to the present, apart from minor repairs.
By the way, Westminster Bridge is painted green – the color of leather
seats in the House of Commons, and the Lambeth Bridge, which
located in close proximity to it, painted red –
in keeping with the leather seats in the House of Lords.

Other London bridges

There are a few more bridges that are less
known:

Waterloo Bridge

connects the urban areas of Westminster and Lambeth, has a length
381 m and is the longest bridge in the capital. It was founded in
1811 as “Strand Bridge”, but after the Battle of Waterloo and
victory over Napoleon was renamed Waterloo Bridge. In 1923
it was closed due to severe subsidence of the foundation. Reconstruction
began in 1937, but was delayed due to World War II and not
was finished before 1945 years old.

Lambet Bridge

It also connects the districts of Westminster and Lambeth and has a very
attractive look. The 252 m long bridge was opened in 1862, but
due to its steep ramps, it was used primarily for pedestrians.
After a reduction in throughput as a result of a strong
corrosion, in 1905 it was decided to build a new bridge on the same
place. But for a long time nothing was done. In 1929, was started
reconstruction and in 1932 a new bridge was opened, which has
237 m long and consists of steel and reinforced concrete blocks,
lined with polished granite. It is colored red,
the color of the seats in the British House of Lords.

Vauxhall Bridge

Looks similar to the Lambeth Bridge, is the southeast
access road to the headquarters of the British foreign secret
the SIS. At the time of its opening in 1816, it was the first
iron bridge in London.
After some signs of wear it was demolished in 1898 and
reconstructed, trams began to run on the new bridge for the first time.
This bridge consists of five steel arches on which lie granite
columns and has a length of 246.5 m.

Southwark Bridge

Relatively short (length 197.5 m). Was opened in
1819, but because of the road tax, the rather bumpy pavement and
bad access roads were not particularly used. The road tax was
abolished in 1864 and the traffic on the bridge began strongly
increase. It soon needed a facelift. IN
1921, the new Southwark Bridge was opened.

Blackfriars Bridge

Stands out from the rest because of its cast-iron balustrade in
Venetian style. In close proximity to the bridge
Blackfriars is a railway bridge. Blackfriars Bridge
has a length of 281m and a width of 32m, respectively.

London with a child – places to go and things to do

This is a fun team challenge that the whole family can participate in (children from 9 to 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult). The quest was created based on the cult TV game show of the 1990s “Crystal Labyrinth”. It allows you to have fun and get a lot of fun by completing tasks in four time zones (Aztec, Medieval, Industrial and Futuristic) and collecting crystals. The maze master tailors the challenges to the specific team. And the final one takes place in the Crystal Dome, where a surprise awaits the participants.

Go Ape Battersea Park

The popular rope park is located in Battersea, a beautiful green area on the south bank of the Thames, opposite Chelsea. It consists of several tracks, differing in difficulty and height. Treetop Adventure is suitable for children of all ages, but the adventure participant must be at least 1 meter tall. Treetop Adventure Plus is an advanced version of the previous route, designed for children over 6 years old who are at least 1.2 m tall. The Treetop Challenge offers even more challenges. Children are allowed up to 1.4m tall. The Treetop Challenge Xpress is a great way to get your adrenaline pumping on ultra-high jumps. The minimum age of the participant is 10 years old, the minimum height is 1.4 m. A bonus for all adventures is the beautiful views of Battersea Park.

Other entertainment in London

The range of activities for young guests of the capital is very wide. In addition to those listed above, there are a few more to consider.

London Eye

A visit to the famous Ferris Wheel on the south side of Westminster Bridge is an adventure. From a height of 135 meters, a wonderful view of the capital of Great Britain and its environs opens up.

London Aquarium Sea Life

This is a huge educational and entertainment center for adults and children. Here, in conditions as close to natural as possible, 500 species of marine life from all over the world live. Young visitors can not only admire them in huge aquariums, but also touch starfish, stingrays, and crabs. The kids will love to watch a small colony of penguins. And for older children, watch the scuba divers descend into the aquarium to feed the large marine life. A vivid impression will be a walk through the glass ocean tunnel.

Hamleys Toy Shop

Considered one of the oldest and largest in the world. Its seven floors are filled with happiness, fun and tons of all kinds of toys – from teddy bears to radio-controlled robots. In the thematic zones “Harry Potter”, “Game of Thrones”, “Star Wars”, “Marvel Universe” you can buy your favorite artifacts from the films. Presentations of new games and entertainment are constantly held here. All products on display cases and shelves can be touched and played with. And for the youngest visitors there is a sandbox.

Changing of the Guard

There are several ceremonies that will be a thrilling sight for young tourists – the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Tower of London, as well as the Parade of the Royal Horse Guards (Horse Guards Parade). Full details of these events, as well as tips on how to best organize visiting the changing of the guard with children, can be found at changing-guard.com.

Emirates Air line

It runs over the River Thames and connects Greenwich to the Royal Docks. Passengers enjoy magnificent bird’s-eye views of the river and its surroundings – the City of London, Canary Wharf and the Olympic Park. This spectacle looks especially beautiful at sunset. It is worth considering that Oyster Card holders receive a discount on the ticket.

Chessington World of Adventures Resort

This theme park was one of the first in the country. It is located in the Borough of Kingston upon Thames. It also houses a monorail and a zoo with over 1,000 animals. The park is divided into 10 themed locations with more than 40 attractions for visitors of all ages. There are daily theatrical performances and fun shows. And in the SEA LIFE center you can see a lot of amazing marine life. Do not worry if there is not enough day for all the sights and attractions. An overnight stay at one of the Chessington World of Adventures Resorts or glamping can be a wonderful adventure.

Children’s food in London

In London, there is no problem choosing places where you can feed your child. English cuisine is simple and hearty, and children love most of its dishes. But there are a few places that can leave very vivid memories of visiting the British capital.

Chin Chin Labs

What kid would say no to ice cream? Especially if it is served in a cafe that looks more like a laboratory and is prepared with liquid nitrogen. Thanks to this, the delicacy gets a particularly delicate and plastic texture. The chain’s establishments can be found in Camden and Soho. Their assortment includes a lot of the most unusual flavors (from tonka beans to coffee and olive oil), and their palette is regularly replenished. In addition, there is a seasonal menu and many interesting toppings.

Afternoon tea

To visit the capital of England and not join this important ritual would be a big omission. Children will be delighted with small sandwiches with different fillings, beautiful cakes, delicious cakes and scones with cream or jam. There are several locations where you can feel the true spirit of this ancient British tradition. For example, a small cozy teahouse Orange Pekoe in Barnes, Brigit’s Bakery in Covent Garden, Tea Terrace in the House of Fraser department store on Oxford Street or the Diamond Jubilee salon in Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly.

The only place in London where you can enjoy tea on the grounds of the Royal Palace is the Kensington Palace Pavilion. Goring Hotel is famous for its luxurious aristocratic furnishings and an exquisite menu with homemade sweets. And Milestone and Savoy offer a special afternoon tea program for younger visitors.
