The river "Thames".
the river Thames, that's why it opens, to let big ships through.
Tower Bridge crosses the River Thames from north to south and vice versa near central London. It is adjacent to the Tower of London and is the only bridge across the Thames which can be raised to allow tall ships to pass under it.
It's the other way round. London Bridge crosses the River Thames.
No it isn't. London Bridge is a very ordinary bridge which crosses the river Thames in central London. Many tourists from other countries think that the iconic Tower Bridge is London Bridge, but it isn't. The name of London Bridge is famous throughout the world because of the children's song, 'London Bridge is Falling Down'.
The Thames is Englandâ??s longest river and the United Kingdomâ??s second longest river. Human settlement along the banks of the Thames dates back to the Neolithic era, and evidence shows bridge construction as far back as Roman times. In the present day over 200 bridges cross the Thames, the most famous of which is the London Bridge.
The only railway under the river Thames is parts of the London Underground (tube).
Dartford, Blackwall, Rotherhythe.... and then there are the Underground lines... I just looked it up... the total appears to be 18.
There are many tunnels under the Thames - including several used for trains.

The width of the river Thames averages around 18 meters near the rise or start. The width of the river Thames increases the further downstream you go. Lechlade 18 metres wide Oxford 76 metres wide Teddington 100 metres wide London Bridge 265 metres wide Woolwich 448 metres wide Gravesend 732 metres wide Nore Light, 10 km wide Estuary (between Shoeburyness and Sheerness) 8 km wide Whitstable and Foulness Point, the estuary is 29 km across. Westminster bridge, just in front of the Houses of Parliament, is 826.8 ft (252m) wide, which is a fairly good indication of the width of the river at the point most visitors would see it. A few miles upstream, at Hammersmith, the bridge is only 700 ft (210m), whilst at Dartford, the last bridge on the Thames before the open sea, the bridge is 2,664 ft (812m) long.
