Southwark Bridge is a bridge for vehicles across the River Thames in Central London. The 800-foot (243.8 m) bridge carries the A300 road across the river, connecting Southwark Bridge Rd on the south to Queen Street Place to the north. It is between the Millennium Bridge to the west (upriver) and Cannon Street Railway Bridge to the east (downriver).

Southwark Bridge was completed in 1921. It replaces an older bridge that has been there since 1819, and was known as the Queen Street Bridge. That older bridge had three cast-iron spans, which gave it the name Iron Bridge, in comparison to London Bridge, which was called Stone Bridge.

How to reach Southwark Bridge

Mansion House Tube Station, served by the Circle Line and District Line, is the nearest station to the bridge. It is located in the City of London, a short walk from the bridge.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
