Why are there no bridges in East London?

Imagine all the historical goodies they'd find if they drained the river, people have probably been throwing stuff in it for as long as London has existed

Hi. Can you make a London about videos? The scare has bridged me.

There ain't no bridges in New York.

Chop chop. You need another upload. Don’t take the piss.

Kind regards.

We need a crossing... but not in my backyard....

unfortunately the closure of hammersmith bridge mostly just shifted commuter traffic to the (very) nearby putney bridge

as a Pittsburgh native this is such a foreign concept lol

13minutes to say its wider....

amazing video! Fuck cars!

Maybe you should ask Dutch city traffic planners to have a look at it.

1.05 "the NARROWEST part where they could build it!"🤔🤗

this video was Amazing. Very Entertaining and fun to Watch

The whole area around blackwall and silvertown is full of cars anyway, do we really need another crossing with 4 lanes for cars and naff all for everyone else?

So now in January 2024 I can say that the Elizabeth line is one of my favourite train lines it’s spacious,quiet and as comfy as a train can be I guess the fact that this was out the day before it opened and now how much the world has changed since then is scary but I’m really enjoying these videos considering I only found it an hour ago 😊

It's not east London. It's Gqeberga

How many rail lines are in the east?

Another car hate episode. In real life people prefer cars.

I live on the north facing, southern coastline of the Bristol Channel. 90% of the things you search for locally return results from South Wales. A eight hour, 400 mile round trip. At least Londoners have options. Our only real option is to travel to Bristol and head over the water. e.g. Bideford and Tenby are less than 50 miles apart (as the crow flies). But it's a 222 mile drive past Taunton, up to Bristol, across the Severn, past Newport and Cardiff, Swansea and Carmarthen. AND BACK again. There's no ferry either. Now THAT'S inconvenient!
To put that into context, that's not a lot further apart than Manchester and Liverpool, or Birmingham and Leicester.

New York's ferry services have also really developed in the last decade or so.

There is something really wrong and strange about the Thames being drained, it looks weird.

They moved-out all the "local East-Enders" and moved them to Essex, ever since then there's been a big number of
Muslims move into the London East End, as it was much more affordable rent than other Inner City locations, like
the West End. For that reason, the awkward, insular Muslim hierarchy, are infamously jealous and hate "other people"
being around, or walking around, or even being "in contact" with their own people, therefor a "bridge" or series of
bridges, across the Thames East End, would be quite the contrary to what the Mufti's, Turki's, or Clerics would want.

It's sad that it seems like the Silvertown Tunnel is going to be built after all

Any need for the coughing?

Cutting car use is not the silver bullet. Need to build more roads, river crossings and address the fact that there’s several million strangers in our country that weren’t here a few years ago.

When did Tower Bridge and the Rotherhithe Tunnel stop existing?

They want crossings but don't want crosssings.. kind of counterproductive isn't it? Lol.

I worked on the Greenwich Penninsula in the run up to the Millenium; it was a very strange place in many ways- one minute you're next to houses worth millions, the next you're walking past some pretty grim streets. The river walkway from the Cutty Sark out to the Dome was not in a straight line but almost castellated- the remnants of all the old shipping of the era. But I can tell you with a degree of confidence that in respect of South of the Thames, no one calls themselves 'East London' no matter how far East they are. The concept of East London is most certainly a North London concept. I would be genuinely interested to learn whether other people agree or disagree.

Think of the germanic…there was another part I forgot.

After being caught in proto-it one is expected to be calm.

‘How many Kings did you make (there were three)’

That kid playing Boris was epic!! 😂😂

surely the answer is the gateway bridge with a dlr route bus routes, cycles, walking and no normal road traffic?

Ironically, if the Wherries had been kept around, this wouldn't be anywhere near as big an issue.

Sorry to disturb you, please lobby your local politician to stop zionistIsraeli apartheid from oppressing the indigenous Muslim and Christian Arabs.

That's because it may be used as an escape route,those grits are on it man....

I think they should build a bridge for automobiles in east London.

I thought it was because there was nohwere worth going to

Because they all fell down, it's true they even wrote a song about it.

Can I be your granddaughter, Grandpa Jay? I want to be the lucky one whom you bequeath the SurfShark gift to! 😄

Dartford Tunnel. Looks like a bridge I crossed on the way to Channel Tunnel.

They would get in the way of big ships coming in to the docks I expect

In the UK, you can’t build roads without protests but can build trains. But in America when we want to build a train on a very specific on a path, there’s always little support. But when we want to build roads destroying as much land as possible, everyone supports it.

I knew there were lots of intelligent people in London.
But they keep electing gobshites as their mayor.

At least East Londoners can take solace in the fact that their government is spending eleventy squillion pounds a year on importing Third Worlders to make them a hated minority in their own city.
