Ivy Bridge Lane: A Forgotten Connection to the River Thames This evocative photograph, taken by an unknown artist and sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of Ivy Bridge Lane, a long-demolished alleyway that once connected the bustling Strand in central London to the Ivy Bridge or pier on the River Thames. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the history and charm of this forgotten link between the city and the river. The narrow, cobblestone alleyway is lined with ivy-covered walls, a testament to the lush greenery that once thrived in the heart of London. The ivy, a symbol of growth and renewal, clings to the brickwork, softening the harsh edges of the stone and adding a touch of natural beauty to the urban landscape. At the end of the lane, the Ivy Bridge pier juts out into the Thames, a drop-off point for river passengers. The bridge, now long gone, was a vital link between the city and the water, allowing people to travel to and from the river with ease. The image captures the hustle and bustle of activity at the pier, with passengers and their belongings gathered on the shore, ready to embark on their journeys. The photograph also highlights the rich history of the area, with the imposing silhouette of the Savoy Palace and its gardens visible in the background. The Savoy Palace, a royal residence and later a luxurious hotel, was a symbol of power and wealth, adding to the allure of the area and the riverfront. Today, Ivy Bridge Lane exists only in the annals of history and in the memories of those who remember it. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the alleyway's significance as a connection to the River Thames and a testament to the enduring charm of London's past.
