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.
