Bridges of London (Self Guided), London

Around thirty bridges span the Thames river in London, each with its own story. Our self-guided walk takes you to see nine such historical structures located in the heart of the city, starting from the storied Westminster Bridge and ending at the iconic Tower Bridge.

The latter has stood over the River Thames in London since 1894 and is one of the finest, most recognizable bridges in the world. It is the London bridge you tend to see in movies (e.g. "Mission: Impossible", "Trainspotting", "The Elephant Man", "Killing Eve") and on advertising literature for London.

Meanwhile, Millennium Bridge has been quite popular with Harry Potter fans since being featured in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".

Earlier on, in the 1930s, Robert E Sherwood's play ‘Waterloo Bridge’ was such a popular story, it was made into three separate films, released in 1931, 1940 and 1956; the second of these film versions starred Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor, and was Oscar-nominated. The film tells the story of a soldier who falls in love and marries a woman he meets on Waterloo Bridge during a First World War air raid.

On this leisurely stroll along the north bank of the Thames, you will find many other historical landmarks of the British capital whilst taking in excellent views of Westminster Parliament, the London Eye Wheel, the South Bank and more.

Before setting out, just make sure to have your camera ready because the views will be incredible!
