Getting to London Bridge: London Bridge underground station (why, of course~) Jubilee and Northern Line
There isn't anything special about London Bridge, looks-wise. It looks like any other bridge. However, the current bridge isn't the first to be built at this spot. In fact, it was built in 1973.
Oh well, just get there, shoot a photo with it to show it off to everyone on your facebook you have been there. That's it. *sings nursery rhyme*
When you are standing on London Bridge, you will spot another bridge running parallel to London Bridge. That's Tower Bridge (above), which is way more magnificent and camera-worthy. Do remember not to confuse Tower Bridge with London Bridge.
If you came from London Bridge Station, you should be at the south of the bridge. Walk northwards to the other end of the bridge and you should arrive at the Monument (which should be on your right).
The monument is built to remember the lost lives in the Great Fire of London in 1666. If you have the time, you can get to the top of the Monument to have a good view of Thames river and everything around. You will have to pay though. http://www.themonument.info/
From there, you can walk to the Thames path, which is a path that follows London's Thames river for as long as the river is (though at some points the path is disjointed due to buildings or canals that the river split into).
You should pass by the Tower of London and then get to Tower Bridge. Tower of London is worth a day of stopover and more about Tower of London will be posted soon~
