Tower Bridge beach, 1930s

Tower Beach was a popular day-trip destination, especially for the children and adults from the East End. A beach holiday atmosphere was created with 1,500 tons of sand alongside Tower Bridge. When children were evacuated out of London during the Second World War, the beach closed. It was reopened after the war but finally closed in 1971 due to the pollution of the Thames. I remember going there when I was a little girl. Brittany, Vintage, London Beach, London City

The famous Windmill Theatre girls work hard, but they also found time to play between shows. London's own beach by the Thames at Tower Bridge was close enough to the theatre for them to change into swimsuits and enjoy a brief breather with hundreds of Londoners who are enjoying a spell of early summer. Left-to-right is Josephine Hamlett, Jill Anstey, Anita D'Ray, Avril Amos, Toni Leighton and Mavis Greenaway Tower Bridge London, Bridge
