A ‘living inhabited bridge’ over the river Thames, similar to the original London Bridge, is reportedly being considered by the mayor of London, Boris Johnson as one of a number of high-profile plans.

The Sunday Times reports that the plans would involve building a crossing between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges.

According to the newspaper, designs by architects Grumbach would include a 35-storey tower on the northern side of the river, with a greenhouse over the south side housing gardens and plants. The route of the bridge would be lined with shops, bars and restaurants.
