Tower Bridge
Vintage colour photos of Tower Bridge from the 1950s to the 1990s, documenting one of London’s most recognisable landmarks and its surrounding area across the post-war and late-20th-century decades. Taken on colour film, these images capture Tower Bridge as a working river crossing and major focal point on the Thames.
This collection includes views of the bridge itself along with the Tower of London, Tower Hill, St Katharine Docks, nearby streets, river traffic, and public spaces. From everyday scenes and passing vehicles to wider views of the Thames and historic buildings, the photographs preserve a detailed visual record of this part of London before later redevelopment and regeneration transformed much of the riverside area.
All images are available as high-resolution, royalty-free digital downloads suitable for editorial, commercial, or personal use.
