Vauxhall Bridge and stormy skies London
Vauxhall Bridge and stormy skies London
The New Vauxhall Bridge was designed by Sir Alexander Binnie (the resident engineer of the London County Council) and opened in May 1906. It replaced the older Regent Bridge that had occupied the site since 1816 and is now one of the busiest road bridges in central London. The bronze statues above the piers were added in 1907. Notable buildings in this image are the red Westminster Tower (left centre) with the South Bank Tower to its left and the pointed skyscraper at One Blackfriars Road, also known as "The Boomerang", in Bankside on its right. The modern buildings in the centre are new redevelopment along the Albert Embankment, including the Park Plaza London Riverbank Hotel (the dark grey building with the sloping roof).
