THE BOOKS OF PETER C. SMITH
London's Bridge
London is built upon the great river Thames
and the river gives it not only its character but also a moving, vibrant heart
so lacking in other, smaller and duller, cities. The city exists because of its
crossings and, as London
has grown and spread ever further, so those crossings have multiplied. Her
bridges give the capital some of her most beautiful structures and their histories
are as diverse as their designs.
Twenty-one bridges covered in this volume
are covered in this volume - London, Putney, Westminster, Kew, Blackfriars,
Battersea, Richmond, Vauxhall, Waterloo, Southwark, Hammersmith, Wands worth, Lambeth,
Chelsea, Albert, Chiswick, Twickenham, Hampton Court, Millennium, Kingston,
Hungerford and Tower. Each of them is unique and has its own fascinating story
to tell.
