Description

The archway beneath the southern end of London Bridge, which crosses Tooley Street, is a surviving feature from the former London Bridge designed by Sir John Rennie in 1831. It is constructed of granite ashlar and features an elliptical arch made with struck voussoirs, channelled abutments, and a dentil cornice. This archway is part of Rennie's original design for London Bridge, although the remaining portion has since been re-erected in Arizona. The wall and abutments to the north of the east side are now obscured.
