London Bridge is a bridge in London, England over the River Thames, between the City of London and Southwark. It is also between Cannon Street Railway Bridge and Tower Bridge. It also forms the western end of the Pool of London. London’s original bridge made this one of the most famous bridge emplacements in the world. It was the only bridge over the Thames below Kingston until Westminster Bridge was opened in 1750.
On the south side of the bridge is Southwark Cathedral and London Bridge station. On the north side is the Monument to the Great Fire of London and Monument tube station.
The bridge carries part of the A3 road, which is maintained by the Greater London Authority,[1] although the bridge is owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, an independent charity overseen by the City of London Corporation.
Tower Bridge is often mistakenly referred to as London Bridge.[2]
The area between London Bridge and Tower Bridge on the south side of the Thames is managed by the London Bridge Business Improvement District (BID) Company.
