Southwark Bridge spans the River Thames in London linking the City of London with Southwark. The next bridge downstream is London Bridge (often confused with Tower Bridge), while upstream is the Millennium Bridge (for pedestrians only) and then Balckfriars Bridge.

There are many important sites close to Southwark Bridge, especially along the southern bank of the Thames. Proceed upriver and you will quickly pass the Rose Theatre Exhibition, the Globe Theatre and then the Tate Modern. Travel in the other direction and you will find the Clink Prison Museum, Golden Hind replica boat and then Southwark Cathedral. St. Paul’s Cathedral is not too far away on the northern side of the river. It is easy to spend most of the day here, and some of the attractions are free with the London Pass.

The first bridge crossing the Thames at this point was not built until 1819. It was an iron bridge designed by John Rennie (who also designed the Serpentine Bridge in Hyde Park), and featured in Charles Dickens' Little Dorrit.

The current Southwark Bridge opened in 1921 and is now maintained by the Bridge House Estates, which is a charitable trust overseen by the Corporation of London. Southwark Bridge is often used as a coach park at the weekends, and it can be hard to find a place to look up or down the Thames given the number of coaches that can be parked here.

The nearest tube stations include Mansion House, London Bridge and Cannon Street.

There has been a Thames crossing at the current site of Lambeth Bridge for centuries, though the first bridge crossing here was built in 1862. The original Lambeth Bridge was a toll suspension bridge, but the approaches were too steep for most coaches to use. The current bridge was built in 1932 by King George V. At either end are Obelisks topped with pine cones – the traditional symbol of hospitality since Roman times.

Lambeth Bridge links Westminster with Lambeth and offers great views back up the Thames towards Westminster Bridge. Just on the south side of Lambeth Bridge is the Museum of Garden History and Lambeth Palace, the London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. There is a peasant walk along the Thames opposite the Houses of Parliament from Lambeth Bridge to Westminster Bridge.

On the north side, Lambeth Bridge joins up to Horseferry Road and Millbank. Here also is the southern end of Victoria Tower Gardens, which link the bridge with the Palace of Westminster. These gardens contain a number of statues, including a suffragette and a cast of Rodin's Burghers of Calais.

As can be seen from this photo, looking down the river towards Westminster from Lambeth Bridge you get a great view of the Palace of Westminster, partially shielded by the trees of the Victoria Tower Gardens. The rest of London appears on the skyline above Westminster Bridge, while on the left the London Eye towers over the surrounding buildings.

Up until 1750 the Thames crossing here used to be by ferry, which had the unfortunate reputation for sinking. In 1633 it did so with the belongings of Archbishop Laud, and then in 1656 carrying Oliver Cromwell’s coach. Early attempts to secure permission for a bridge received successful opposition from the Company of Watermen. However, the opening of Westminster Bridge in 1750 killed off the ferry trade. Another 100 years passed before the first Lambeth Bridge was built.

The nearest Tube stations to Lambeth Bridge include Lambeth North and Westminster.

Hungerford Bridge - London

Hungerford bridge links Charring Cross with Waterloo railway stations across the Thames. It is a composite of three bridges, one for trains bordered on either side by passenger bridges. This combination of bridges may also be known as Charring Cross Bridge or Golden Jubilee Bridges which can get confusing at times. The construction blends in very well with the appearance of the London Eye nearby as it sits between Westminster Bridge and Waterloo Bridge.

The original Hungerford Bridge was a suspension bridge by Brunel in 1845, but this was quickly replaced around 1860 by 9 iron spans on pillars, though the original pile buttresses of the suspension bridge still remain, that on the north bank sits right by Embankment Gardens. Pedestrian walkways were added, refurbished and removed at various points over the next 150 years or so, but by the end of the 20C these had a reputation for being narrow, dilapidated and poorly lit.

The new footbridges achieved several notable things. Firstly they provided new 4.7m wide and 320m long foot-spans across the river on both sides of the railway bridge. Secondly, they brought back some of the history of the suspension bridge as the bridges decks are suspended from sets of cable rods attached to leaning steel pylons. This provides a new striking impression to the river and obscures the rail span. Lastly, they provided, under the guise of a publicly funded Golden Jubilee project, the money to refurbish the iron pillars of the bridge and set them inside concrete, thereby bailing out Railtrack which could not afford to do the required work to one of it’s bridges.

Unfortunately, when walking across Hungerford Bridge you can only see either up river or down river, as the rail bridge between the two footbridges obscures the views in the other direction. The panoramic image found on PanoramicEarth is a composite, taken from roughly the mid point of either span and stitched together so as to remove the central railway section.

The view from Hungerford Bridge upriver is shown here, you can see the London Eye, St. Stephens Tower (Big Ben to most) and the Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament). In the other direction you look downriver to Waterloo Bridge beyond which the Thames curves away to the right on the way to St. Paul’s Cathedral and the City.

.

The nearest tube stations are Waterloo, Embankment, and Charring Cross.

Gabriel's Wharf Lookout - London

Gabriel’s Wharf is found on the South Bank of the Thames, just a couple of minutes away from the Oxo Tower, apart half way between Waterloo Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge. At this point the promenade that runs from Wesminster all the way down to Tower Bridge juts out into the Thames a little providing an excellent place from which to admire the view up and down the river.

Set back from the Thames is a shopping area, called Gabriel’s Wharf, in which you will find a lovely collection independent small shops and boutiques selling a variety of arts and crafts, many them made on site by the shop owners. At the weekends there is also a craft market in the area. Gabriel’s wharf has, therefore, an refreshing display of both creative talent and entrepreneurial spirit sorely lacking in much of the rest of the city where large chain stores have taken over much of the areas.

From Gabriel’s Wharf lookout you can clearly see St Paul’s Cathedral and the skyline of the City of London. Oxo Tower is but a couple of minutes away. The tower also contains a number of galleries as well as a fantastic, and equally expensive, restaurant on the top floor with fabulous panoramic views up and down the Thames. About 5 minutes further on down the Thames you will find the Tate Modern and the Millennium Bridge. In the other direction is Waterloo Bridge and 5 minutes beyond that is the London Eye.

Gabriel’s Wharf is more often ‘discovered’ by people than deliberately visited, but it is well worth the effort for those wanting to discover a quieter spot in London offering original talent. Take a pause here before continuing your walk.

Gabriel’s Wharf is also the location of the Coin Street Festival in the summer. The nearest tube stations to Gabriel's Wharf are Waterloo and Blackfriars.

The Tate Modern is the latest addition to The Tate group of galleries located within Britain and also online. The Tate Modern, opened in May of 2000, is the national museum of international modern art, and therefore modern both in terms of the use of the building and the collection it contains. Situated on the Thames and linked St. Paul’s Cathedral via the Millennium Bridge, the Tate Modern has quickly won favour both with Londoners and visitors to London.

From the very outset as you approach the Tate Modern, especially across the Millennium Bridge, it is clear that this building was not originally designed as an art gallery or museum. The 200m long building is almost featureless except for a 90m high chimney stack placed half way along. In a former life this was the Bankside Power Station, built in 1947 and closed in 1981 when the price of oil made it too uneconomical to run. Eventually after nearly 20 years of dereliction a new use for the building was secured and the Tate Modern was born. The conversion started in 1995, taking 5 years and £134 million to complete.

One of the most striking features of the Tate Modern is the huge Turbine Hall, which at 152m long and 35m high makes it one of the largest spaces in which to display art in the world. Parallel to this space ran the boiler house which has now been converted to hold the galleries or ‘suites’ as the Tate Modern like to call them. There are 2 floors with permanent exhibits, while temporary works are displayed on the third floor. Above these the Tate houses a café-restaurant with truly stunning views over the rest of London. The top of the Tate Modern’s chimney is capped with a luminous roof called the Swiss Light and sponsored by the government of Switzerland. At night time this light makes the Tate Modern clearly visible for many miles.

The Turbine Hall has seen some fantastic large sculptures since 2000, Almost always these installations have caused lively debate and attracted huge numbers of visitors, form the Unilever Series by Rachel Whitehead (nick named the Tate sugar cubes) to the current slides created by Carsten Höller. If anyone said the modern art could not be fun, then surely a visit to the Tate Modern at the moment would address that, though the question of ‘Is it art?’ may not be easy to answer.

The opening of the Tate Modern has helped to revitalize the South Bank. It is linked to the Tate Britain by a distinctive river ferry decorated in bright coloured spots. The Tate Modern is also close to quite a number of other attractions in the area including St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Oxo Tower. Situated about half way between the London Eye and the Tower of London (and Tower Bridge) the Tate Modern is well worth including in any London itinerary.

The Monument and Great Fire of London

This photo from the Monument in London is part of one of the panoramic images found on the PanoramicEarth.com Tour of London. There are over 100 images taken from around London linked to an interactive map.

The Monument was erected to commemorate the Great Fire of London in 1666 and burned for 4 days destroying about 80% of the city in the process. This is probably the single greatest calamity to befall London, not rivaled even by the Blitz of WWII. Such an event had to be marked, and so the Monument was designed by Sir Christopher Wren (of St. Paul’s Cathedral fame) and built between 1671-7.

The Monument is not on the site of the start of the Great Fire, which started on Pudding Lane 202 feet to the East in Thomas Farynor’s bakery. However, the Monument is 202 feet tall thereby linking it to the site. In fact the Monument remains the tallest standing stone column in the world. The Monument is a hollow Doric column of Portland stone capped with a flaming copper urn symbolizing the Great Fire. On the North side of the Monument is a Latin inscription which translates as "In the year of Christ 1666, on 2 September, at a distance eastward from this place of 202 ft, which is the height of this column, a fire broke out in the dead of night which, the wind blowing, devoured even distant buildings, and rushed devastating through every quarter with astonishing swiftness and noise. On the third day at the bidding, we may well believe, of heaven, the fire stayed its course and everywhere died out."

The base of the Monument contains a bas and alto relief showing aspects of the Great Fire on the west side. Here London is personified grieving with the city ablaze behind her while Time lifts her up. Peace and Prosperity are in the clouds promising a better future and Charles II in armor is on the right.

In addition to being a monument to the Great Fire, the Monument was also designed as a scientific instrument. The co-designer with Wren was Robert Hooke, a keen physicist and together they installed cellar laboratory just below the ground floor. The top of the Monument opened to the sky turning the whole into a Zenith telescope, intended for studying the motion of the Earth around the Sun. Unfortunately the Monument proved to be too unstable for this type of experiment. In addition to all this, the steps inside the Monument were exactly 6 inches high allowing for precise measurements for experiments involving pressures and pendulums. Hooke did some work on the highly sensitive wheel barometer at this ‘Fish Street Pillar’.

Today the Monument has become an attraction with a viewing platform near the top. 311 steps ascend the inside or the Monument, and the stairwell is quite narrow making passing people coming the other way interesting. However the effort is more than worthwhile with panoramic views over London. Both the images on this page were taken from the top of Monument. The first picture shows the view towards Tower Bridge and the Tower of London with HMS Belfast moored in the river. (Free entrance with to all with the London Pass). In this direction you can also see City Hall.

The second image above shows the view over the City of London with the gherkin shaped Swiss Rhe building clearly showing against the skyline. You will also be able to see the area around the Tate Modern, Millennium Bridge, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre (Free entrance with the London Pass) and many other parts of London. On descending you will be presented with a certificate. The nearest tube station is Monument, though London Bridge is not far away.

The Millennium Bridge in London was the first bridge to be built across the Thames in London since the construction of Tower Bridge in 1894. It is a footbridge that links the Tate Modern on the south side to St. Paul’s Cathedral on the north (Free entrance with the London Pass). The Millennium Bridge opened in 2000 (hence the name) by the Queen, and then promptly shut 2 days later as the huge numbers of people crossing over it (90,000 on day one) generated a noticeable swaying motion that some found disturbing. Whilst within safety limits, it was decided to close the bridge for alterations.

Thus the Millennium Bridge (then also known as the Wobbly Bridge) remained closed for 8 months while dampeners were installed below the decks of the bridge and between the piers. Fortunately this solution has not affected the overall design and look of Millennium Bridge which forms an elegant span over the Thames.

The Millennium Bridge is 320m long structure, designed by Sir Norman Foster with sculptor Sir Anthony Caro and the engineers Arup. The concept was to create a ‘Ribbon of Steel’ or ‘Shaft of Light’ across the Thames. It is a very shallow suspension bridge with clear views along the Thames. You can stand under the Millennium Bridge on the north side and hear the impact of the footfalls being transmitted through the cables. The deck is about 4m wide and supported by 8 cables and is about 11m above the river at high tide. Millennium Bridge cost £18m to build and a further £5m to alter making the total project some £7m over budget.

Millennium Bridge is ‘Y’ shaped, the single entrance to the Bridge from St. Paul’s branches out to two platforms near to the Tate Modern. I have once noticed that in a fine drizzle a static effect built up on the bridge which resulted in fine hair gradually standing on end as people crossed over. So while the wobble may have been removed from Millennium Bridge, it may still have other surprises in store. The nature of the decking also generates it’s own hum when buggies are being pushed over.

In spite of the original problems, the Millennium Bridge is now an established and popular landmark in London. It is hard to now imagine the city without it linking two of the great attractions in the city and providing panoramic views up and down the Thames from the centre.

Nearby attractions to the Millennium Bridge include St Paul’s Cathedral, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Vinolopis and The Monument (Free entrance to all these with the London Pass) among others. The nearest tube stations are St. Paul’s, Southwark, Blackfirars, Mansion House and Cannon Street.

HMS Belfast - London

The HMS Belfast is the last big gun battleship from WWII and is moored as a permanent floating exhibit on the River Thames between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. It is possible to visit the HMS Belfast, you are recommended to give yourself about 2 hours to do so, and entrance to the HMS Belfast is free to holders of the London Pass. After visiting the HMS Belfast there are plenty of other things in the area to see and do, as described at the bottom of this article. The HMS Belfast is one of the branches of the nearby Imperial War Museum.

The HMS Belfast is a Town Class cruiser built for the British Navy in 1938. It saw extensive service during WWII, was damaged by a magnetic mine in 1939 leaving the Frith of Forth, and returned to service in 1942 having been repaired and refitted. At that time the HMS Belfast was then the heaviest cruiser in the British fleet with a displacement of 11,553 tons. The HMS Belfast provided cover for convoys in the North Atlantic and was involved in the Battle of the North Cape, along with her sister ship the HMS Duke of Yourk against the German Gneisenau class battlecruiser Scharnhorst. 1944 saw the HMS Belfast involved in action against the Tirpitz, the last surviving German heavy warship, and then later in support of the D-Day Landings in France.

Following further service in Europe, the HMS Belfast then entered the Asian arena, and was intended to support the eviction of the Japanese from Malaya, but this turned into a relief operation as the Japanese surrendered before her arrival. It is reported that a U-boat commander came upon the HMS Belfast unnoticed towards the end of the war but decided not to sink her. After the WWII she saw active service in the Korean War, and finally returned to the UK in 1963. Former HMS Belfast Captain Rear Admiral Sir Morgan Morgan-Giles successfully petitioned for her to become a museum ship, and she was opened to the public on Trafalgar Day in 1971.

As well as the guided tour and museum exhibition, the HMS Belfast is also the location of a number of one-off special events and activities. Other attractions near to HMS Belfast includeThe Monument, Winston Churchill’s Britain at War, Vinopolis, Southwark Cathedral, Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Entrance to all of these London attractions is free to holders of the London Pass. Other nearby attractions include The London Dungeon, City Hall, Hay’s Galleria (for shopping) and the Design Museum. The nearest tube station is London Bridge, but Tower Hill is not too far away.

Blackfriars Bridge - London

Blackfriars Bridge is busy, some 54,000 vehicles a day kind of busy. It crosses the River Thames in London linking the City of London with Southwark. Nearby on the North side are both St. Paul’s Cathedral and The Temple in the City. Landmarks on the south side include the Tate Modern, Southwark Cathedral and the Oxo Tower. The next car bridge up-river is Waterloo Bridge and down river is London Bridge (often confused with Tower Bridge).

A crossing at Blackfriars Bridge has existed since 1769, when the first, a toll bridge, was built and was originally called the William Pitt Bridge after the then Prime Minister. The current iron bridge was built in 1869 and widened in 1910 as the volume of traffic grew.

The view in this image is up the Thames facing West. The Oxo Tower is off to the right, and The Temple is off to the left. Along the North bank are several permanently moored ships that act as both restaurants and night clubs. Most pedestrians crossing the Thames are likely to head for the Millennium Bridge which links St. Paul’s to the Tate Modern just a little further down river. The nearest tube stations are Blackfriars (also a National Rail station) and Southwark.

One of the things that made Blackfriars Bridge (in)famous in recent years was the discovery of the body of Roberto Calvi, was found hanged below one of the arches in 1982. Snr Calvi was the chairman of the Banco Ambrosiano and worked closely with the Vatican, earning him the nickname ‘God’s Banker’.

The bank collapsed in one of Italy’s largest political scandals. His death was at first attributed to suicide, but is now accepted to have been murder. He escaped Italy on a false passport and turned up dead in London 8 days later with bricks and some $15,000 in cash in his pockets. Claims have been made that Calvi's death involved the Vatican Bank (Banco Ambrosiano's main shareholder), the Mafia (which may have used Banco Ambrosiano for money laundering), and the Propaganda Due or P2 masonic lodge, of which Calvi was a member.

A large number of important London attractions line the Thames, mostly on the South side, starting with the London Eye, London Aquarium and Salvador Dali Exhibition by Westminster Bridge. Nearby here is also the South Bank and Royal Festival Hall. Further down the Thames you will find Oxo Tower, Hayes Galleria, HMS Belfast, Britain at War Museum, Southwark Cathedral, Tate Modern, Design Museum and Tower Bridge. Along the north bank you will find The Monument, St. Paul's and the Tower of London. Entrance to many of these London attractions is free to holders of the London Pass.

London owes a large proportion of it’s significance to the River Thames. Flowing from Oxford to the North Sea this river was, for hundreds of year, the lifeline and trade artery of the city. From the West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs merchant shipping would disperse for the far East. The names still survive even if the port has died. Canary Warf now houses massive office blocks instead of boats, the Royal Victoria Dock lies near to the City Airport while St. Catherine’s Quay next to Tower Bridge is home to pleasure yachts instead of barges.

In the 16C and 17C traffic up the Thames was utterly controlled by the guild of watermen who tolerated no competition whatsoever and saw many a rival off down river with or without their boat. The Thames is still a busy waterway though the number of tourist cruise ships and ferries linking the various parts of the city far outnumber the barges and other working boats.

In 18C London got so cold that the Thames froze over regularly, allowing Londoners to establish the Frost Fairs, with tents, amusements and shops on the river itself. Who knows, if ocean currents such as the Gulf Stream, are adversely affected by global warming, we may see the return of such freezes in the UK.

The Thames also had the dubious honour of being the sewer of London, with raw effluent being discharged directly into the river. Things came to a head during the Big Stink when the aroma of the river was so foul as to disrupt entirely the activities of Parliament. The sittings at the House of Commons were abandoned for a time and massive sewers installed to take the refuse away from the city.

Today the river is popular with tourists, with cruises snaking past one another to and from Westminster Pier, past Tower Bridge and onto Greenwich. This image here shows the view up the Thames from Tower Bridge (often confused with London Bridge, the next bridge up river as seen in this image). On the right is the new GLA Headquarters of the Major of London and moored in the river is the HMS Belfast, a floating museum of a battle ship. Hidden behind trees to the left are the walls and battlements of the Tower of London, home to the Crown Jewels, while nearby the skyline is punctured by the towers of the City of London. One of the most notable of these is the Swiss Rhe ‘Gherkin’ building.
