Beneath Hungerford Bridge
Published 1 day, 22 hours ago
Description
Recorded at night beneath this wrought iron railway bridge over the River Thames. The massively loud bangs, clattering and rumbles of trains as they pass overhead contrasts with the sounds of water gently lapping at the bridge supports, and people chatting as they walk along the South Bank.
The bridge, over 160 years old, is currently being refurbished, so these sounds may not last for much longer.
Recorded in October 2026 by Paul Wheeler.
