    Hiking

    The bridge conects Vauxhall on the south bank and Pimlico on the north bank. Opened in 1906, it replaced an earlier bridge. Lean over the railing to see the sculptures representing Agriculture, Architecture, Engineering and Pottery on the upstream piers and Science, Fine Arts, Local Government and Education on the downstream piers. Look out for the small St Pauls Cathedral in the hands of Architecture.
