Thames Path at Wandsworth Riverside

The Thames Path leaves the river here to pass round the Western Riverside Transfer Station, hence the signpost pointing to the right. The view shows almost entirely new flats alongside the river here, only Wandsworth Bridge dating from 1940 not being from the recent past. At the time of its opening the bridge was painted in dull shades of blue as camouflage against air raids, and it still has the same colour scheme today. Although Wandsworth Bridge is one of the busiest bridges in London, it has been described as "probably the least noteworthy bridge in London".
