ABOUT

London Bridge is a box girder bridge built from concrete and steel, connecting the City of London and Southwark, in central London. It is not to be confused with Tower Bridge! London Bridge was opened to traffic in 1973, being then only 47 years old. It was taken down and rebuilt from concrete and steel, replacing a 19th century stone arched bridge, which in turn succeeded a 600-year-old stone-built structure. The craziest story with the London Bridge is that it was sold to the USA in 1986!

Welcome to the City of London!

A City within a city, in a country within a country.

As we will walk across the city you will see how modern architecture seamlessly mixes with classical buildings. We will stop to admire St. Pauls's Cathedral, the GuildHall, and the Bank of England, as well as the modern architecture masterpieces such as The Gherkin and Lloyds of London.

More importantly, you will hear the stories of the major events that shaped the development of the city. We will also talk about old medieval traditions that are still practiced today and how they have impacted the modern world.
