Clattern Bridge — Attraction in London

Stumbled upon Clattern Bridge in Kingston upon Thames – what a hidden gem! Dating back to around 1175, this medieval marvel over the Hogsmill River is one of England’s oldest intact bridges, still buzzing with traffic and history. The clattering hooves of old inspired its name, and with the river flowing gently below and flowers blooming nearby, it’s a perfect spot for a quick, enchanting photo op. Worth a detour if you’re exploring London’s southwest – timeless charm in the heart of the city!...

Apparently the oldest bridge in London and one of the oldest in the country, built around 1175, it spans the Hogsmill River just before it drains into the Thames.

You wouldn’t really notice it if you walk or drive over it, but walk just down the path and it’s an interesting bridge to look at.

There are plenty of nice restaurants and pubs by the river here, so the bridge is something interesting to look at whilst you go for a drink or bite to eat...
