Until the construction of Blackfriars Bridge in the 1760s London Bridge was the only river crossing within the City and was lined with shops and houses. Southwark Bridge was opened in 1819 but all these have been rebuilt over time. The iconic Tower Bridge was constructed in the 1890s and the infamous 'wobbly' Millennium Bridge is the newest crossing, designed for pedestrian use. |
