Cannon Street Railway Bridge is one of the railway bridges across the River Thames in Central London. It is located between Southwark Bridge to the west and London Bridge to the east.

The Cannon Street Railway Bridge comprises five arches over the river. It was built for the South Eastern Railway. It was designed by Sir John Hawkshaw, who also designed the Cannon Street Station. The original bridge was completed in 1866, but the present structure is a reconstruction completed in 1981. The bridge was originally called Alexandra Bridge, after Alexandra of Denmark, who was to become the consort of the future King Edward VII.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
