Original: The bridge carries part of the A3 road, which is maintained by the Greater London Authority; the bridge itself is owned and maintained by Bridge House Estates (see City Bridge Trust), an independent charity overseen by the City of London Corporation. The area between London Bridge and Tower Bridge on the south side of the Thames is a business improvement district (BID) and is managed by Team London Bridge.
Simplified: The name London Bridge is often mistakenly applied to Tower Bridge, which is the next bridge downstream.
