London Bridge A Landmark with a Role in the World HistoryLondon Bridge is a landmark in London, which has an important position in the World History. It connects the city to London to its Southwark and is positioned over the River Thames. Since it is located between the Tower Bridge and the Canon Street Railway Bridge, the London Bridge forms the west-end of the Pool of London. London Bridge Station and the Southwark Cathedral are located in the southern side of the bridge, whereas the northern side has the Monument Tube Station and Monument to the Great Fire of London. London Bridge was the only one over the downstream of Thames from Kingston before the Putney Bridge was opened in 1729. The bridge, which stands today, was opened on March 17, 1973. It is the latest in the list of bridges, which occupied that spot and claimed its name.
