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

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
