London - Westminster Bridge

Westminster Bridge, constructed in 1854-62 from the designs of Thomas Page to replace an older stone bridge, was the second bridge over the Thames after London Bridge. The 353 m/810ft long bridge is one of the most elegant of the London bridges and commands a fine view of the Houses of Parliament. On the Westminster side of the bridge stands a huge bronze group of Boadicea, Queen of the Iceni. Victoria Embankment extends below the bridge and above the Albert Embankment with St Thomas's Hospital.
