9. Barnes Bridge
The water is on your right.
Distance to next bridge: 2.10 miles
Opened in 1895, it also takes trains. Whoever is in the lead of the University Boat Race at this point usually goes on to win. Cambridge 87; Oxford 81 wins. Barnes Bridge is approximately halfway along the 31-mile route and it's here we'll meet anyone who wants to walk just the second half of the route (each half being around 15.5 miles).
14. Battersea Bridge
The water is on your left.
Distance to next bridge: 0.40 miles
Opened in 1890. It's situated on a sharp bend in the river and was often the scene for shipping collisions. An earlier version was the last surviving wooden bridge across the river, and inspired paintings by Turner and Whistler.
26. Tower Bridge
The water is on your left.
This is the final bridge.
Unlike its neighbour half a mile away, Tower Bridge has never fallen down and is much younger - built in 1894. Its modern concrete and steel structure was opened to traffic in 1973. It is one of London’s iconic defining landmarks, recognised the world over.
