The new London Bridge, which opened in 1973, had heated pavements that prevented ice from forming during the winter. British Rail opened a new London Bridge Station in December of that year. This photo, by Barry Lewis, was part of a Museum of London commission that documented commuting Londoners. The use of grainy black and white, together with the almost headlong tide of homeward-bound workers, emphasises the wearying daily slog in and out of London.
