caption_attribution_description: English: St Thomas on the Bridge: exterior view of the West Front of the Upper Chapel from London Bridge Street, engraved by W Hughes after prints by George Vertue, (1684 – 1756), which in turn were based on a survey by architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661 – 1736)
context_page_description: The Chapel of St Thomas on the Bridge was a bridge chapel built near the centre of "Old" London Bridge in the City of London and was completed by 1209. In 1548, during the Reformation, it was dissolved as a place of worship and soon afterwards converted to secular use. The building survived as a dwelling and warehouse until 1747 when the upper storey at street level was removed; the lower storey, which was built into the structure of one of the piers, remained in use as a store until Old London Bridge was demolished in 1832.
