London Bridge is a bridge in London, England over the River Thames, between the City of London and Southwark.
This was the only bridge over the Thames in London until Westminster Bridge was opened in 1750.The first London Bridge was built by Romans sometime after 43 AD and some of its wooden remains have been uncovered on the north side of the river.
The current London Bridge was designed by Mott, Hay and Anderson, constructed by contractors John Mowlem and Co from 1967 to 1972, and opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 17 March 1973. The current bridge was built in the same location as Rennie’s bridge, with the previous bridge remaining in use while the first two girders were constructed upstream and downstream. In 1984, the British warship HMS Jupiter collided with London Bridge causing significant damage to both ship and bridge.
