Cannon Street Bridge

Part of the 'Illuminate the River Project'.

Located on the River Thames between London Bridge and Southwark Bridge. This iron bridge carries trains on the Southeastern line over the Thames to Cannon St Station.

The Grade ll listed twin brick towers are all that remain from the original station and can only be seen from the river side.

 

Up to 15 bridges will eventually become part of the Illuminated River Project, the worlds largest public art comission. To date, the first phase of 4 bridges have been officially 'turned on' They are London Bridge, Cannon Street Bridge, Southwark Bridge and the Milennium Bridge. Their municipal lighting has been replaced with dynamic LED displays created by the American artist Leo Villareal.

2020 will see a futher five bridges lit up, followed by the remaining six to create the Illuminated River Project
