Lambeth Bridge — Attraction in London

Lambert bridge is a characteristic bridge, made of solid iron, if you cross it passing from horseferry Road towards Lambert palace you can swim on the left a splendid view towards Westminster bridge, Big Ben, London Eye And the rest of the panoramic towards the east, instead if you look to the right you can swim Vox soul bridge Road the MI6 secret service building And the rest of the enchanting view of the river to the west. And like all old-manufactured structures, it also contains messages that few know how to decipher and see. For example, at the ends of the bridge we can see obelisks that have the pineal gland at the top, certainly the tourist guides who know very little about these things say it is a pineapple, but if you think about it, even a 6-year-old child draws a pineapple cannot fail to draw its unmistakable tuft of leaves which is found on the top of the pineapple, I say this also because in other parts of the world where pineal glands are drawn they are drawn in the same way. Another detail that I discovered by myself and that I will tell you now And that will amaze you if you are passionate, in the lower part of these obelisks there is a stylized winged disc drawn, like the Egyptian one for example, but it is stylized you cannot see it, let us know case near the bottom of the base there is a circle on either side of this circle are stylized wings divided into three vertical segments. Now that I've told you, all you can do is look at these symbols and enjoy their...

Used to be the site of the Archbishop of Canterbury's horse ferry. That carried people from Westminster Palace to Lambeth Palace and is situated at the beginning of Horseferry Road, Westminster. First erected as a tolled suspension bridge for pedestrian use in 1862. It was too steep for horses and proved dangerous. The present bridge built just after the reopening of Westminster Bridge, after the flood of 1928, opened in 1932. The red of Lambeth Bridge is to match the leather benches of The House of Lords. Whereas, the green of Westminster Bridge is to match the leather benches of The House of Commons. The obelisks at either end of the Bridge have pineapples atop of them as a tribute to John Tredescant the Younger who grew the 1st ever pineapple in Britain and is buried in the churchyard of St Mary's at Lambeth (Garden Museum). Next-door to Lambeth Palace literally on the other side of Lambeth Bridge from Westminster. The antique cast-iron lampposts have elaborate dolphins entwining them. It is grade 2 listed and has the best river horizon Central London has to offer. And is by far the better bridge of the two as is way less busy pedestrian/tourist wise. Also open to vehicle use. Nice to walk over it and stroll along the Albert Embankment behind St Thomas's Hospital and onto South Bank. Best place to situate yourself for the annual New Year's fireworks...

A few years back I read in High Life (an on-board magazine by British Airways for their air travellers) that there was a plan to refurbish all of the bridges across the Thames in its London section and supply them with modern LED decorative lighting. I think, such works had been completed for Lambeth Bridge; it looks really nice at night, although the bridge itself is in a good state of repair but not particularly remarkable. It spans across River Thames at Cromwell Park (which is at the western side of the Houses of Parliament) on the North Bank at right next to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in the South bank (London Borough of Lambeth) with downtown sights such as former manufacturing site of Royal Doulton China factory, BHP of the London Fire Brigade and their Museum as well as Lambeth Palace, Evelina Children's Hospital, Florence Nightingale Museum and St Thomas' Hospital nearby. It is located between Vauxhall Bridge and Westminster Bridge on the river (upstream and downstream...
