“As the hours of the tide changed, I took towards London Bridge” (360). London Bridge is the most famous bridge in the world. It has had many various “London Bridges” in its spot over its 2000 years of existence. The many references Dickens makes to this bridge support the importance of it. It is a common London landmark. The author uses this to create a more “lifelike” impression of his novel--to make readers feel that his story could have actually happened.
