LONDON BRIDGE

(First built by the Romans, London Bridge’s 2000-year-long history takes in fire, frost, trade, executions and many, many different rebuilds. [...]

London Bridge has been a key feature in the defence of London since the Romans. By blocking the river, it could protect the city from attacks by ships and by forces advancing from the south. And as London’s only river crossing until Westminster Bridge opened in 1750, it also played a vital role in the flow of trade in and out of the city.

People lived, worked and worshipped on London Bridge for centuries.[...])
