Commuters use the bridge to go to work.
A video comparing the traffic on London’s Westminster Bridge after 125 years is going viral on social media. The historic Westminster Bridge is a road and pedestrian bridge that spans the River Thames in London.
The comparison video shows old footage of the bridge from 1896, while the other part shows footage from 2021. The comparison reveals that the architectural marvel stands at the same place, while the people and vehicles around have changed. In the 2021 footage, cars and buses can be seen on the road, while in the old footage, horse carts pass near the bridge.
