City Bridge Foundation was founded almost 900 years ago to maintain the old London Bridge. In its early history, funding came from sources such as rents, tolls and donations.
Today, its income is generated through responsible investment and asset management, enabling us to support and maintain five Thames bridges and support London’s communities.
Whilst its primary aim remains to support and maintain our five bridges – Tower, London, Southwark, Millennium and Blackfriars bridges – but since 1995 it has also used surplus funds to award grants to charitable organisations across Greater London.
