  1. Queen Elizabeth II suspension bridge

    Tower Bridge - built with a rising centre roadway, to enable ships to pass it on their way to the Docks

    London Bridge, the oldest and most famous of the bridges. The wooden bridge on the Roman site continued until 1176, when it was replaced by a stone bridge. remarkably this survived until 1831, carrying out all sorts of useful tasks like displaying the severed heads of executed traitors and rebels. The 1831 bridge was designed by John Rennie, and when this in its turn was replaced in 1972, it was transported stone by stone to the Arizona Desert, where it resides today

    Southwark Bridge

    Blackfriars Road and Rail

    Waterloo Bridge, replaced in 1942 Rennie's bridge of 1817

    Charring Cross Rail

    Westminster Bridge - remember Wordsworth's sonnet "Earth has not anything to show more fair"

    Lambeth Bridge, on the site of the Archbishop's ferry - he had to be bought off

    Vauxhall

    Grosvenor Rail

    Chelsea- a handsome suspension bridge

    Albert Bridge - perhaps the nicest of them all

    A further 18 bridges until one reaches Hampton Court Bridge, the last in the capital


  2. don't know the actual figure but there are a lot taken in a area of 8 square miles

  3. Too much (except for the warncliff viaduct in southall)

  4. Do you mean over the Thames? If so, within the London boundary 10. There is another one at Staines, just outside the boundary, but within the London conurbation. If you mean any bridges at all, you can count them!

    I'm fascinated by the answer from the person below. Very interesting I'm sure, but did he read the question?
