Besides the Tower Bridge in London, what other famous bridges are there on the Thames (with introduction)?

Albert Bridge

Albert Bridge spans the River Thames, connecting Chelsea on the north bank and Battersea on the south bank, and the bridge itself is also a representative work of Victorian characteristic bridge architecture.

The name of Albert Bridge is to commemorate Prince Albert of Saxon-Coburg-Gotha, who is the husband of Queen Victoria. The bridge is 71 feet long and 41 feet wide.

this bridge was designed and built by Rowland Mason Ordish in 1873. At first, this bridge was a cable-suspended bridge improved according to the Ordish-Lefeuvre Principle, but it was later proved to be structurally unsound, so from 1884 to 1887, Sir Joseph Bazalgette combined other design elements to improve the bridge. In 1973, the Greater London Council strengthened the bridge and added two concrete piers. Therefore, the Albert Bridge we see today is a "hybrid" that truly blends three different design styles.

As a toll bridge, it failed in business, and it became a public bridge after six years of traffic. However, the toll booth at that time was still there, which became the symbol of the toll booth at the bridge crossing in London. Because many people walk on the bridge in public, the bridge will tremble, so people jokingly call this bridge "The Trembling Lady".

After the Second World War, the Albert Bridge was nominated for relocation, but it was opposed by tough Londoners and finally remained. So the bridge was strengthened and the weight of the passing bridge was limited.

If you are a careful tourist, you will definitely notice the sign pole of the Albert Bridge, which says, "When crossing this bridge on foot, all the people walking in groups must disrupt their steps." According to the explanation of engineering experts, this slogan is to avoid "mechanical resonance", because the uniform passage of troops through the bridge or in similar circumstances is likely to cause damage to the bridge.
