London Bridge and the Blessing of the River Thames. On Sunday the clergies of Southwark Cathedral and the church of St Magnus the Martyr set out from their respective sides of the river, to meet at the centre of the bridge. They then proceeded to bless the river with a short service and a wooden cross, tossed (carefully) into the waters below. Typically taking place on the first Sunday after 6th January, this is a relatively modern tradition, but is linked to the much older Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, commemorating the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. The original London Bridge was the foundation of our charity in 1122, over 900 years ago. We now own and maintain five of the capital’s bridges - @TowerBridge, London Bridge, Southwark Bridge, Millennium Bridge and Blackfriars road bridge – all at no cost to the taxpayer. We are supported in our work by our sole trustee, @cityoflondon Our thanks to St Magnus the Martyr for these photographs of the Blessing of the River Thames.

Final reminder: Tuesday is our next London peer support session. Guest speaker: Stephen Bunbury @InclusionLondon. If you or your charity is based in or serves Greater London, come along! @CityBridgeFndn have funded this work 🙏 Book your free place: associationofchairs.org.uk/e…

As London gears up for a busy NYE @CityBridgeFndn says don’t watch fireworks on the bridges - you won’t get a good view. @Ldn_Ambulance has 50 extra ambulances across London tonight, while Safer Spaces will be supporting the Met Police

Heading out for New Year's Eve? 🥳 London’s fireworks are a must-see, but NOT from @TowerBridge or London Bridge!🎆 Please help us and @CityPolice keep everyone safe by avoiding our bridges and enjoying the fireworks from a better spot, whether that's your home or one of London’s amazing venues.

As the year draws to a close, we're sharing some of our 2024 highlights from across the charity.  Thank you to everyone that's made it such an inspiring year, here's to an even brighter 2025. Happy New Year ✨!

Are you planning to come into central London to watch this year’s sold-out New Year’s Eve fireworks despite the windy forecast? Please DON’T go to Tower Bridge or London Bridge – you won’t see the fireworks from there due to the bend in the river and tall buildings in the way.

Here’s what you’ll actually see from @TowerBridge and London Bridge on NYE (spoiler, it's not the fireworks)! Please help us and @CityPolice keep everybody safe and start the year right— avoid the bridges and the bad view this New Year's Eve.
