The view centers on the new London Bridge, a granite span that opened in 1831 at a ceremony attended by King William IV and Queen Adelaide. It replaced the old medieval crossing, whose narrow arches and rows of houses had long slowed river traffic. The bridge was designed by John Rennie and completed under his son, John Rennie the Younger. The gallery files the picture under ballooning, a reminder that balloon ascents drew large London crowds in the same decade.
