A2. By boat bridges and fords.

A1 In early days, you would swim, or perhaps use a small craft. But when the Romans came, they built the first wooden bridge, about the limit of the Tidal Reach up the river. Boadicea didn't like that and burnt it, but it was re built. And a long time later, the stone bridge at that location was sold to the US, and re-erected there.

(With the arrival of motorized traffic, the Brits had tried to widen it, but this made the weight too excessive for the piers and it started to sink! Hence the need for the new (now) London Bridge. )
