Westminster Bridge, the oldest in London, with its Gothic arches was opened in 1862. At the time it was badly needed to help relieve the badly congested routes of the Strand and Oxford Streets from London Bridge.The green paint work of the bridge is the same colour as the leather seats in the house of commons.
Other Sunday Bridges can be seen courtesay of host Louis La Vache.

Fantastic.
And in the distance you can see the red Lambeth Bridge, painted the same colour as the seats in that end of the Palace Of Westminster, the House Of Lords.
Beautiful composition!
Happy Sunday

What a beauty of a take. Really great!
Ah! «Louis» didn't know the story of the green color on this bridge! A fine contribution to Sunday Bridges, Mo! «Louis» thanks you!
I love that green color.
A very nice bridge. And I like the way that you have composed your photo. I also like the lamp post.
Wow, what a gorgeous photo! great composition.
Was it early in the morning? It looks so peaceful and quiet. Absolutely amazing shot.
good stuff
I love this shot. There is so much to see. The amazing detail of the bridge, that distant bridge, the dense skyline, the boats along the bank and finally, that wonderful Buddhist monk in his saffron robes! Fantastic capture.
I love it!
What a great photo. So well observed.
Bravo the composition. Great shot.
I should have thought that was a fairly rare sight - a Buddhist monk on a London bridge? But his robes are a lovely contrast to the green.
A study in contrasts of architecture, time, color, and cultures. Well caught.
It couldn't of come out more perfect. Wow. I adore all the details, the light post, the mosaic, the railing, and OF COURSE, the monk, the bridge in the background, the stacked buildings.
What a wonderful shot!!!
Brilliant shot!

Wat a shot!
That's a fantastic BRIDGE photo! The monk and his clothes really make the picture!
I love the amazing views that you get either side of Westminister Bridge. It is quite probably my favourite bridge as far as views are conerned in London.
