Overview of London Thames West Running Route
First Part of Route
The Westminster Bridge connects the west and east sides of Westminster and Lambeth and was initially built between 1739 and 1750. However, it began to fall into disrepair in the mid-19th century. The current bridge was then opened in 1862. You will notice the bridge is painted green to resemble the colour of the seats in the House of Commons on the side of the Palace of Westminster. Lambeth Bridge, on the other hand, is painted red to resemble the seats in the House of Lords on the opposite side of the Houses of Parliament.

Millenium Bridge, once nicknamed the “Wobbly Bridge” or “Wibbly Wobbly”, was initially opened in 2000 but two days later, as the nickname suggests, had to undergo two-year-long repairs to keep it stable and reopened again in 2002.
