		There are thirty-three London boroughs, ranging in population from the sprawling suburbs of Croydon, with 330, 587 inhabitants, to the tiny City of London, with a residential population of 7,385 swelling during the working week to 380,000.
		London stretches across an area of more than 620 square miles, with a population of 8 million and it is clear that a single city council would not be capable of administering this whole area.

	Dartford Crossing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge (A282) was built to expand crossing capacity between sections of the M25 motorway.
		When built, the Queen Elizabeth II bridge was only the second bridge on the River Thames east (downstream) of London Bridge constructed in over a thousand years, and it is currently the only bridge east of Tower Bridge (the Thames Gateway Bridge will be the second, when completed).
		Dartford is the town nearest the crossing on the south bank of the river.

	CBRD - Histories - Ringways - Ringway 2
		London has, since the 1930s, possessed a ring road within its urban area, highlighted by the numbers A406 and A205, and (in the north at least) improved here and there to a decent standard.
		The tunnel crossing was chosen over a bridge as it reduced the amount of property demolition required.
		It ran east through Streatham Vale, with a three-level free flowing junction terminating the M23 near the railway junction, before joining the south side of the railway towards Thornton Heath.

	7 July 2005 London bombings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unfortunately the 7.40 train to London was cancelled that morning and a later train would have made it physically impossible to travel between the two stations in the time-frame alleged.
		For most of the day, central London's public transport system was effectively crippled because of the complete closure of the underground system, the closure of the Zone 1 bus networks, and the evacuation of Russell Square.
		Much of King's Cross station was also closed, with the ticket hall and waiting area being used as a makeshift hospital to treat casualties on the spot.

		There are no crossings of the River Thames between the Blackwal l Tunnel and the Dartford crossing, other than the Woolwich Ferry and Jubilee Line extension.}{\b }{The proposed Thames Gateway Bridge would serve an area of East London with high levels of deprivation.
		Indeed, 88% of the capacity within the proposed river crossings is for public transport.
		We heard evidence from Transport for London that the Bridge is being designed so that it could be suitable for trams, and that the gradients, radii and weight-bea r ing will be such that trams could be accommodated.

		Transport for London undertook a consulting exercise on the proposal to erect a bridge across the Thames on the location of the East London River Crossing which has been proposed since the 1970s and went to a public inquiry in 1985-86.
		Transport for London’s transport model forecasts for the bridge are of a total annual vehicular flow of 20 million.
		The seven East London boroughs were: Tower Hamlets, Redbridge, Newham, Havering, Greenwich, Bexley and Barking and Dagenham.

		There would also be some decreases in traffic flows for riverside areas to the east in Erith and west in Charlton as l o cal traffic, for example from Thamesmead, diverts to use the Bridge from routes that they currently have to use to access the Blackwall Tunnel or Dartford Crossings.
		Of the increase in river crossings, about 1,000 represent redistributed trips, with travellers changing their trip patterns as a result of enhanced opportunities offered by the new River crossing.

	What strategy for London?
		However, proposals for new road crossings have now been revived with support from the Mayor, in spite of Ken's pre-election promise that the road would be built "over his dead body".
		The Green vision for London is not just one sprawling metropolis but rather a collection of over 300 urban villages each with its own thriving local community, strong local economy and quality local services, thus reducing people's need to travel.
		Living in London shouldn't have to be such a fight and such a struggle and we do need a radical alternative.

	Thames Gateway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In the early days, the Thames Gateway London Partnership (TGLP) was formed as a partnership of 13 local authorities, 5 universities, 2 Health Authorities, the Learning and Skills Council London East and the London Development Agency (LDA).
		However, in the case of East London, there is no doubt that attention needs to be given to the areas bordering the Thames which have suffered years of badly managed industrialisation, pollution, poverty and neglect.
		The London Mayor wishes to build a "Thames Gateway Bridge" - a six lane strategic road, capable of carrying between 6,000 to 8,000 vehicles an hour - at the site of the proposed East London River crossing, a bridge which has been opposed by local people for over twenty years.

		London Docklands is a huge area stretching 8 miles from London Bridge to Beckton; it is over 2000 hectares (8 square miles), equal in size to Westminster and the City combined (Fig 1 - 64kb).
		Although London Transport and the LDDC played a vital role in planning and justifying the scheme and reinforcing Olympia and York's lobbying, in the early days it was almost entirely due to OandY that the idea attracted government attention and support.
		London Transport had already invested heavily in the DLR and their concentration was now focused on solving congestion and reliability problems in the rest of London's network.

		Firmly positioned in the 'A list' of London attractions, the Millennium Bridge is a 330m steel bridge linking the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside.
		It would be the first pedestrian river crossing over the Thames in central London for more than a century, opening in time for the first year of the new Millennium.
		With the bridge crossing such an old part of London, archaeological excavations were undertaken on both banks before construction started, with remains of structures from the Middle Ages being uncovered.

	Transport Plans for the London Area - East
		By December 1999, the Thames Wharf station (200 metres southwest of the eastern end of the Lower Lea Crossing) was described as an enhancement to be built at a later date: this is because development around the station is restricted by government safeguarding for the Blackwall Tunnel improvements.
		In January 2001, London's Mayor described a Woolwich rail crossing (either this scheme or the DLR scheme) as a key transport priority, and a higher priority than both the Thames Gateway River Crossing and the third Blackwall crossing
		A further extension under the river was described as a much longer-term aspiration: this would be an alternative to the plan for a heavy-rail Woolwich Rail Crossing.

		In his Conclusions and Recommendations the Inspector concluded that the expansion of the airport would be of benefit to the economy of east London and the City, although there would be an increase in noise levels.
		This opened in December 2005 by which time work was already under way on the extension of the new line under the River to provide a link to Woolwich and the North Kent Line.

		The first of these was his decision after the breakout at St. Lo to cross the Seine River on the run, instead of pausing there to gather strength for a deliberate crossing.
		Eisenhower decided that, although it was somewhat south of his planned Rhine crossing, Remagen would serve as the point from which the final attacks could be made.
		He therefore diverted supplies and forces to exploit the Remagen crossing and made it the point of departure for the decisive double encirclement of the Ruhr valley that captured more than 325,000 prisoners and ended organized enemy resistance.
