There was no formal opening ceremony, and little initial recorded public reaction. [23] However, the bridge soon became much admired for its design; an article in The London Magazine in 1779 said that the bridge was "a simple, yet elegant structure, and, from its happy situation, is ... one of the most beautiful ornaments of the river ... from whatever point of view the bridge is beheld, it presents the spectator with one of the richest landscapes nature and art ever produced by their joint efforts, and connoisseurs in painting will instantly be reminded of some of the best performances of Claude Lorraine". [24] James Paine proudly illustrated it among the designs in the second volume of his Plans, Elevations, and Sections of Noblemen and Gentlemen's Houses, 1783. [25] Richmond Bridge was the subject of paintings by many leading artists, including Thomas Rowlandson, John Constable and local resident J. M. W. Turner. [14] Richmond Bridge by Thomas Rowlandson, c.1810 We also estimate the new two-lane bridge and approaches will save motorists up to 12 minutes travel time through this area.” The two new 4-meter wide pedestrian bridges were completed in 2002 after battles between the engineers WSP Group and London Underground, which was unwilling to take the risks associated with the addition of the footbridges. The risks included interrupting the existing railway bridge and the danger of unearthing still unexploded World War II bombs underneath the Thames River. Westminster Bridge Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Catherine King, believes the project to be important as the bridge between Richmond and North Richmond provides a vital crossing of the Hawkesbury River and currently carries an average of 31,000 vehicles per day. Before this bridge was constructed, the only way to cross the river was through Kingston Bridge or London Bridge. Regardless, when the first bridge was proposed in 1664, it received fierce opposition from the watermen who used to ferry people across the river throughout the day Lambeth Bridge

It was designed by James Paine and Kenton Couse. This five-span arch bridge with granite piers and cast-iron girders is located on a sharp bend in the Thames and provides access from Chelsea to Battersea on the south. Initially, the bridge was a toll bridge after it was commissioned by John Earl Spencer, who had acquired the rights to run the ferry.

Spanning 200 meters and stretching 18 meters wide, Wandsworth Bridge carries the A217 road across the Thames between Battersea in London Borough of Wandsworth and Sands End and Parsons Green in Hammersmith and Fulham. As with most Thames bridges, the first Wandsworth Bridge was a toll bridge, which was built in 1873 by Julian Tolme. The current one was opened in 1940 and was designed by Sir Thomas Peirson Frank.Located near Chelsea Bridge, Albert Bridge (named after husband of Queen Victoria – Prince Albert) is commonly referred to as ‘the trembling lady’ because of its swaying movement. The road bridge crosses over the Tideway of the Thames and links Chelsea on the north, left bank to Battersea on the south. A note on methodology. Some of these crossings are used by multiple methods of transport. Where the same method of transport uses the same crossing in different ways (for example, multiple different National Rail lines cross the river on their way out of Victoria station via Grosvenor Bridge), we've counted this as one method of crossing the river. But where different methods of transport use the same route (for example the District line and the London Overground both use Kew Railway Bridge to cross the river) we've counted it as two separate ways to cross. Clear as Thames mud? Good — let's count. How many times does the tube cross the Thames? Whichever direction you take the Jubilee line from here, you'll go under the Thames.
