In pictures London bridges from boring to beautiful

Wandsworth Bridge has undergone a notable transformation with the installation of new exterior lighting, leading the local council to announce it is no longer "London's most boring bridge. " The bridge, completed in 1939, was originally painted in a dull blue/grey to camouflage it during World War II, and the new lighting aims to revitalize its appearance. London boasts over 30 bridges that cross the Thames, with London Bridge being the first constructed, dating back to medieval times. The current structure of London Bridge was rebuilt in 1973, while the pedestrian-only Millennium Bridge opened in 2000, marking the first new bridge over the Thames in over six decades. The article showcases 20 well-known bridges in alphabetical order, appealing to both locals and tourists.

As many Londoners head out to enjoy the city over the Easter weekend, these bridges serve as essential connections for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles alike. The changes reflect a broader trend in enhancing the aesthetic and functional aspects of London’s infrastructure. These efforts contribute to the city's cultural identity and urban experience.
