Several historical bridges named London Bridge have spanned the River Thames between the City of London and Southwark, in central London. The current crossing, which opened to traffic in 1974, is a box girder bridge built from concrete and steel. This replaced a 19th-century stone-arched bridge, which in turn superseded a 600-year-old medieval structure. This was preceded by a succession of timber bridges, the first built by the Roman founders of London.
The current bridge stands at the western end of the Pool of London but is positioned 30 metres (98 ft) upstream from previous alignments. The traditional ends of the medieval bridge were marked by St Magnus-the-Martyr on the northern bank and Southwark Cathedral on the southern shore. Until Putney Bridge opened in 1729, London Bridge was the only road-crossing of the Thames downstream of Kingston-upon-Thames. Its importance has been the subject of popular culture throughout the ages such as in the nursery rhyme "London Bridge Is Falling Down" and its inclusion within art and literature.
London i/ˈlʌndən/ is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. It was founded by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) medieval boundaries and in 2011 had a resident population of 7,375, making it the smallest city in England. Since at least the 19th century, the term London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms Greater London, a region of England governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. The conurbation also covers two English counties: the small district of the City of London and the county of Greater London. The latter constitutes the vast majority of London, though historically it was split between Middlesex (a now abolished county), Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire.

The new Class 345 Aventra train is out and running on the TFL Rail line between Liverpool Street and Shenfield. Initially these trains come as 7 car sets. They will be extended to 9 car sets at a later date, and will run on the new Elizabeth Line service in 2018, when services from Paddington will run to Abbey Wood before the line then runs from Paddington to Shenfield via Stratford. In December 2019, the full Elizabeth Line will operate, with services from Heathrow and Reading in the west, to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. For the journey between Harold Wood and Ilford in the video, this train called at: Gidea Park Romford Chadwell Heath Goodmayes Seven Kings & Ilford. This train terminated at London Liverpool Street via Stratford.
Here we see the last diagramed Class 442 service in operation with Southern (last day of public service 10th March). Units 2402 & 2408 are seen arriving London Bridge prior to working the 1757 to Brighton. Secondly they are seen departing Brighton heading for Lovers Walk depot.
I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to capture a rare working of a bus route especially outside my area. Here a very rare working of a Volvo B7TL turns right onto Onslow Square and is only the seventh B7TL to show up on 345. I personally prefer taking the refurbished E40H's on this route.

Travel video about destination Tower of London & tower Bridge in England. The Tower Of London is the home of the Crown Jewels and one of the many historical sights of the United Kingdom’s capital city. Just as with the British Empire, the Tower has a colourful and dramatic past and it was originally designed as a fortress by William The Conqueror.Not far from the Tower’s original main entrance prisoners were taken through Traitors’ Gate into the notorious dungeons. In1843 the moat dried up but the old fortress and its towers have survived to the present day. It must have been a terrifying experience to be imprisoned there and few prisoners lived to tell the tale of the rigours of the Tower. Many members of the English royal family were executed in the Tower but there were times when offici...

"London Bridge Is Falling Down" (also known as "My Fair Lady" or simply "London Bridge") is a traditional English nursery rhyme and singing game, which is found in different versions all over the world. It deals with the depredations of London Bridge and attempts, realistic or fanciful, to repair it. It may date back to bridge rhymes and games of the late Middle Ages, but the earliest records of the rhyme in English are from the seventeenth century. The lyrics were first printed in close to its modern form in the mid-eighteenth century and became popular, particularly in Britain and the United States in the nineteenth century.

Video: An evening rush hour and late evening spotting trains at London Liverpool Street, the London terminus for the Great Eastern and West Anglia Main Lines. Because the station is divided into two sections, I started off filming from the tunnel area by TfL RaiI during rush hour, then later on when I got back from Colchester I continued in the main shed area by the West Anglia & Lea Valley line services. In the end I managed to catch a lot of action, even in the late evening and it was nice to see the former Great Northern 321s in action with Greater Anglia.
