Tips
This is the oldest bridge over the Thames in London, never having been replaced. It was completed in 1777 at a cost of £26,000 to replace a horse ferry. Over the centuries it has been drawn, painted and photographed many times. The toll booths at each end of the bridge remained until the end of the 1800s. The bridge was widened in 1937 when the original facing stone was retained.
