List of bridges in London lists the major bridges within Greater London or within the influence of London. Most of these are river crossings and the most well-known are those across the River Thames. Several bridges on other rivers have given their names to areas of London, particularly where the whole river has become subterranean. Other bridges are high level road or rail crossings across other streets

The Illuminated River

In 2016 a competition was run to find a design company willing to take on a permanent lighting project on the River Thames, from Tower Bridge to Albert Bridge. A design by Leo Villareal was chosen as the winner in November 2016 and development will begin on the Thames in 2018, in what will be one of the UK's largest ever public art commissions. ^[1]
