London Bridges

As one of the great global metropolitan cities. London bridges close the gaps, mind the differences and become unique scenes.

Returning back to London after the nine city Europe trip, I would like to live like a Londoner. With a convenient transportation card. I can take subways or buses accordingly. But I always prefer to walk around, getting familiar with London and discovering the fresh spots, hidden gems interactively. I enjoy standing on the bridges and overseeing the city landscapes. I appreciate the function of bridges to connect the city or the world.

So the first stop, I went to the London Bridge, I could walk down stairs to get closer to the Thames river and stroll on the river bank towards the tower bridge. Last month, I was confused and thought the tower bridge was the London bridge, they are different but not so far away. The tower bridge has a modern look with blue suspension chains with more than two hundred years of history while the London bridge has a more traditional look but seems to have a bigger name. Anyway they are all great London bridges, functioning, firm, and delightful.

I walked across different directions, walked through the Thames river bank on a rainy day. Tere were quite a few galleries full of coffee shops, restaurants with Christmas trees and decorations bustling with tourists; and there were imaginary creatures near the shopping center that greet tourists lovely.

The Thames river looks open, calm, and smells fresh on a rainy day. The tower bridge opened its blue wings and looks very beautiful. When you see it from different angles. capture different scenes. I can watch the London bridge and Tower bridge from different locations, watch the Thames river flow peacefully; greeting the imaginary figures across the river bank and get inspired to explore the metropolitan city on winter days.

When visiting the city center, I also passed through the Waterloo bridge and Westminster bridges a couple of times, and captured the views of the city landscape openly there.

A few days later, I also had the chance to visit the other bridge- Golden Jubilee Bridge which connects the Westminster and South bank of Thames River. It has a modern look and when walking through it, you can capture great scenery of London and the Thames river. After crossing the bridge, I visited the poetry library located in the South bank center. It is a warm small library with friendly staff and a limited collection of poetry related literature. I also visited the Christmas Markets there. .

London has dozens of bridges for connecting the different regions of the city. They are all solid functional, some of them are so delightful, and attract tourists all over the world. As one of the great global metropolitan cities. London bridges close the gaps, mind the differences and become unique scenes.
