Millions of Londoners cross these bridges every week. Most of them hardly give it a second thought.

London's Bridges are not just functional objects - they're also symbols, metaphors, which transform, connect and inspire. Some of them have vanished or been replaced - ghost-crossings of the past - but each of them is a clue to the city's hidden history - in some ways they are that history: a history that has lasted nearly four thousand years.
