HISTORY London Bridge City is a vibrant district with a fascinating past and present that has displayed the same core values throughout the ages; community spirit, excellent transport links and pioneering inhabitants. London Bridge City highly values its British heritage and cherishes its rich history that dates back more than 2000 years. It was here that the first ever bridge in London was erected as part of the Roman conquest which supported their mass road-building strategy to help cement their invasion. Most famous for its trading docks, London Bridge City’s historical prominence began to firmly root itself in the 1600s. From there, this iconic London neighbourhood was at the heart of British and international trade for centuries, famously known as London’s Larder. Its latest transformation sees it enjoying a thriving business scene, a culturally rich riverside London community and world famous London tourist attractions.
