16 places

Tower Bridge

Bridges · 1 h 15 min

4.7

Stand on the bridge above the Thames and watch the river slide past the Tower of London's walls. Gothic towers and Victorian steel make every crossing feel like a small adventure.
Waterloo Bridge

Bridges · 20 min

4.3

Walk out over a bend in the Thames and face west for Westminster and the London Eye, then turn east to see the City's towers and Canary Wharf. Go as the light fades and the river turns gold.
Millennium Bridge

Bridges · 20 min

4.3

Cross the steel span linking Bankside and the City, with the Thames wide and glinting beneath your feet. Pause mid-bridge and let the river light change around you.
Chelsea Bridge

Bridges · 10 min

4.3

A 1937 suspension bridge, the first of its type in Britain, linking Chelsea with Battersea Park. It is floodlit at night, with LEDs along its towers and chains.
Albert Bridge

Bridges · 20 min

4.2

Stroll the span between Chelsea and Battersea and read its history in the steelwork: suspension-style elements, a cable-stayed origin, and concrete piers added in 1973. Cross at dusk for Thames views that reward a slow pace.
London Bridge

Bridges · 10 min

4.2

A crossing has stood here since Roman times, and the city grew up around it. Today's plain 1973 concrete bridge is not much to look at, but it gives a classic view downstream to Tower Bridge.
Golden Jubilee Bridges

Bridges · 10 min

Two footbridges, opened in 2002, run either side of the Hungerford railway bridge between Charing Cross and the South Bank. They are a free, traffic-free walk with views of Parliament, the London Eye and St Paul's.
Westminster Bridge

Bridges · 20 min

4.1

Walk out over the Thames with the water sliding beneath you and the Gothic towers of Parliament rising across the river. Come at dusk, when the light turns gold on the stone and the city settles into evening.
Putney Bridge

Bridges · 20 min

3.9

Pause mid-crossing and watch river traffic drift beneath you while the Thames bends away in both directions. Lean on the rail, take in the open water and the green riverbanks on either side, and let the walk set the pace.
Lambeth Bridge

Bridges · 10 min

3.9

Cross the bridge where the Knight Bus squeezes between two double-deckers in Prisoner of Azkaban. Its red paint echoes the House of Lords, and it frames views of Parliament and Lambeth Palace.
Blackfriars Bridge

Bridges · 10 min

3.9

A red-and-white Victorian bridge of five wrought-iron arches, opened by Queen Victoria in 1869. Next to it, Blackfriars station stretches right across the river under a roof of solar panels.
Southwark Bridge

Bridges · 10 min

3.9

A green-and-yellow steel arch bridge of 1921 and the least busy of central London's Thames bridges. Cross it for an unhurried walk between the City and Shakespeare's Globe.
