Westminster Bridge Shadows



I Googled Westminster Bridge recently and checked Wikipedia to see how many times the Bridge is featured in popular cultural references.

The Daleks crossed it in Doctor Who
A skit on Monty Python with a reporter and policeman where they keep stealing items from people passing by.
Cruella de Vil stands on it while seeing the spots from One Hundred and One Dalmatians.
In 28 Days Later the protagonist walks across it while discovering London has apparently been deserted.
The bridge has also appeared in the movies Fantastic Four, Rise of the Silver Surfer, The Bourne Ultimatum and National Treasure: Book of Secrets.

I was a little surprised to see the following photo of the bridge's shadow on Wikepedia. Channel your inner 12 year old...
