London Bridged - 3500 years of building bridges across the Thames

People have been building bridges across the Thames since the Bronze Age - 1,500 years before the Romans built London Bridge. In the 1,700 year wait for the next bridge, other crossings relied on watermen and horse ferries, as traffic jammed on London Bridge. The last 200 years have seen over 50 new crossings over and under the river. Some are great feats of engineering, some are architecturally elegant. Every crossover changes the city’s genetic code. Even now a newly designed bridge awaits a start on site. This talk explores the way we have connected up across the Thames and what that tells us about the culture of the capital through time.
