Vauxhall Bridge, red London bus and The Boomerang building
The New Vauxhall Bridge was designed by Sir Alexander Binnie (the resident engineer of the London County Council) and opened in May 1906. It replaced the older Regent Bridge that had occupied the site since 1816 and is now one of the busiest road bridges in central London. The bronze statues above the piers were added in 1907. The pointed skyscraper just left of centre is One Blackfriars Road, also known as "The Boomerang", in Bankside. It is one of several new modern high rise buildings on the South Bank in central London; it was completed in 2018 and is 166m / 546ft tall. To its left are the red Westminster Tower and the South Bank Tower. The modern buildings on the right are new redevelopment along the Albert Embankment, including the Park Plaza London Riverbank Hotel (the dark grey building with the sloping roof).
