Queen Elizabeth II suspension bridge
Tower Bridge - built with a rising centre roadway, to enable ships to pass it on their way to the Docks
London Bridge, the oldest and most famous of the bridges. The wooden bridge on the Roman site continued until 1176, when it was replaced by a stone bridge. remarkably this survived until 1831, carrying out all sorts of useful tasks like displaying the severed heads of executed traitors and rebels. The 1831 bridge was designed by John Rennie, and when this in its turn was replaced in 1972, it was transported stone by stone to the Arizona Desert, where it resides today
Southwark Bridge
Blackfriars Road and Rail
Waterloo Bridge, replaced in 1942 Rennie's bridge of 1817
Charring Cross Rail
Westminster Bridge - remember Wordsworth's sonnet "Earth has not anything to show more fair"
Lambeth Bridge, on the site of the Archbishop's ferry - he had to be bought off
Vauxhall
Grosvenor Rail
Chelsea- a handsome suspension bridge
Albert Bridge - perhaps the nicest of them all
A further 18 bridges until one reaches Hampton Court Bridge, the last in the capital

Do you mean over the Thames? If so, within the London boundary 10. There is another one at Staines, just outside the boundary, but within the London conurbation. If you mean any bridges at all, you can count them!
I'm fascinated by the answer from the person below. Very interesting I'm sure, but did he read the question?
