One of the most evoked poems to highlight London's uniqueness is by the romantic William Wordsworth. It is titled Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802, and it is a lyric sonnet that reflects the calm that emanates from the city at dawn as seen from Westminster Bridge. Wordsworth wrote it after crossing the Thames near the Houses of Parliament, and not, as the title suggests, that he "composed" it from the bridge.

How long does it take to cross the Thames on foot? It seems impossible to walk on water, right, but there are approximate ways to calculate it. And how many different ways must one get from one bank of the river to the other within the limits of Greater London? As of this Sunday, April 6, officially 59, including the ferry, the cable car, a tunnel exclusively for road traffic, public transport, and, of course, using the 25 bridges that connect the north and south of the city: bridges for all types of vehicles, bridges for the Underground, the railway, and the Overground.
