UK - London - Commuters and visitors cross London Bridge

Unsighted or partially-sighted pedestrian crosses London Bridge during the evening rush hour. Using his stick to feel his way through the crowds and listening to the sounds of the city, he walks along surrounded by others on the pavement and in a passing bus. Commuters stride alongside a bus followed by others walking out of the City of London. There has been a crossing over the Thames here since the Romans first forded the river in the early 1st Century with subsequent medieval and Victorian stone bridges becoming an important thoroughfare from the City on the north bank, to Southwark on the south where transport hubs such as the mainline station gets commuters to the suburbs and satellite towns.
