The view from London Bridge is magical.
Look east and you’ll see @towerbridge1894.bsky.social iconic, and proud.
Both bridges are cared for by City Bridge Foundation, quietly connecting London.
Sometimes, the best way to appreciate a landmark… is to see it from another

Volunteers from our team joined @thames21.bsky.social for a foreshore clean-up at Battersea last week. They successfully picked up 2,000+ wet wipes in just a few hours. A grubby job but an important one. Loo-flushed wet wipes & sanitary products clog pipes & sewers, then overflow into our rivers 💦
