Is there a list or site anywhere showing all the bridges and Tunnels
that cross the Thames?

Has the Ham foot ferry been scrapped?

I've just edited that to show Hampton Ferry, between Hampton Court and
Walton bridges, which has existed since 1519. Are ther any other
ferries that still exist on the Thames?

Hammerton's Ferry, from Marble Hill Park, Twickenham, to Ham House was
still running last time I looked. Daily between February and October,
and weekends only in November, December and January.

Also, the Woolwich Free Ferry (although that is already in the Wiki
article).

There are also some errors or omissions around Abingdon and Oxford which you
might like
to edit:

From:

- A415 road bridge
- Abingdon Bridge (1416)

To:

- Sutton Courtenay Bridge
- Abingdon Bridge (1416)
- Abingdon Lock (incorporates footbridge)

I think that "A415 bridge" and "Abingdon Bridge" are the same thing (the
A415 goes over Abingdon Bridge) and Sutton Courtenay Bridge has been
omitted.

Upstream,

- Isis Road Bridge A423 (1962)
- Donnington Bridge (1962)

should be

- Isis Road Bridge A423 (1962)
- Iffley Lock (incorporates footbridge)
- Donnington Bridge (1962)

Is Medley Bridge (OXford to Cricklade section) the one between Binsey and
Port Meadow? If not, that bridge has been omitted.

The Shepperton - Weybridge ferry.



Looking on Google Earth, it might be possible to cross the river via
the weir at Hampton Court as well. The entry for Walton Bridge is not
that clear. It is still possible to cross by vehicle there, a new
bridge having been constructed. This is a temporary structure, though
how temporary until the new bridge is built is anyone's guess. That
saga has been going on for years. The old bridge is still in place as a
footbridge. Its an original Bailey Bridge which I believe once
attracted interest from the Imperial War Museum.

Walton Bridge is fully open.

It is physically possible to cross at Hampton Court Weir over a access
walkway above the weir, but this is not open to the public.
