1.    There are thirty-four bridges on the Thames in London;  the following are among the most famous ones．

    Tower Bridge

    Tower Bridge has stood over the Thames in London since 1894and is one of the finest, most recognizable bridges in the world．It is the bridge in London you may see in movies and on advertising writing for London．Tower Bridge is the only Thames bridge that can be raised．It used to be raised about 50 times a day, but nowadays it is only reised 4 to 5 times a week．

    London Bridge

    The construshtion of the first stone London Bridge started in 1176and finished years later．Houses and shops were once built on the bridge, which made the road so narrow that it was often jammed with people, horse and carts．A‘keep left'rule was made in 1733to keep the traffic moving．This became the rule of the road in Britain．In 1757the old bridge was pulled down and a new one was built in 1831．Interestingly, that one was pulled down again in 1967but rebuilt in Lake Havasu City, the USA, as a tourist attraction, The present London Brdge was opened in 1973．

    Millennium Bridge

    Millennium Bridge is a bridge for walkers．It was built to connect the Tate Modern Art Gallery to the city and St Paul's Cathedral（圣保罗大教堂） in 2000．Thousands of people rushed to see the new bridge．Almost imediately after open-ing, the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerous waving caused by too many visitors．It has now been reopened．The bridge is about 320meters, costs 16million pounds to build and only takes walkers．

    Westminster Bridge

    Westminster Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the Thames between Westminster and Lambeth．The present bridge, opened in 1862, is the second on the site and took the place of an earlier bridge opened in 1750．The British romntic poet, William Wordsworth, wrote a famous popem Composed up-on Westminster Brdge in the autumn of 1802．
