Things would have been very different. The current road bridge

neither did the District Line.

Though there has been a bridge there since something like 800AD,
if you have a look at London Bridge (the bridge) in the rush hour,
you will see hordes of commuters walking between the City and
London Bridge railway station.

Yes of course, but not the current one, and not in exactly the same
location.

Rennie's 1831 bridge was in exactly the same location as the present one
(1973). It was the old medieval bridge which was a short way downstream.
